1. You should add this listener to your app's root entry point, i.e. _before_ registering your app component because it will be run via React Native's [Headless JS](https://reactnative.dev/docs/headless-js-android) and your app will not mount/render.
2. Notifications received in a terminated state will be considered low priority by Android unless you increase the priority of the payload by setting the `priority` to `high` (you will need to create a _Raw Message_ in Amazon Pinpoint to set this priority).

```js
// Example index.js
...
Amplify.configure(config);
Notifications.Push.enable();

// Note: This handler does not *need* to be async, but it can be!
const myAsyncNotificationReceivedHandler = async (notification) => {
  // Process the received push notification message in the background
};

// It is recommended that you add this before registering your app component.
// You also shouldn't need to remove this listener if it is added here.
Notifications.Push.onNotificationReceivedInBackground(
  myAsyncNotificationReceivedHandler
);

AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);
```
