How to keep up-to-date between RN and Native Android Screen about current stack?

I'm triggering android activity FullScreenActivity whenever video notification comes into the app. This screen display on top of react-native. But I don't want to trigger this FullScreenActivity when user is on a specific screen of react-native.

we have same feature coded on RN and android. I want to achieve

• when app is foreground and not in RN specific screen, FullScreenActivity should trigger.
• when app is foreground and in RN specific screen, FullScreenActivity should not trigger and call RN scene instead.
• when app is background or killed, FullScreenActivity should trigger.

Scenario:

1. user is in screen 1 -> got notification -> now trigger FullScreenActivity.
2. How to handle if user moves to screen 2 (doesn't trigger if in screen 2) while the above step in progress?

How android know user in the specific screen of RN and how RN should know FullScreenActivity is currently active? I want to make one / two-way communication between both platforms.

You should make two-way communication between platforms. I assume you know how to create and register your native modules in Android.

React-Native -> Android communication.

Native code:

@ReactMethod
public void setCurrentScreen(String screen) {
}

In JS code, you can attach navigation listener to your Router via setting onStateChange prop and calling YourNativeModule.setCurrentScreen() method.

Android -> React-Native communication:

Just send an event from FullScreenActivity to JS with activity state information and subscribe to events in JS.

    override fun onStart() {
        super.onStart()
        sendActivityStartedEvent()
    }

    override fun onStop() {
        sendActivityStoppedEvent()
        super.onStop()
    }

    private fun sendActivityStartedEvent() {
        val params = Arguments.createMap()
        params.putBoolean("active", true)
        sendEvent("activityState", params)
    }

    private fun sendActivityStoppedEvent() {
        val params = Arguments.createMap()
        params.putBoolean("active", false)
        sendEvent("activityState", params)
    }

    private fun sendEvent(eventName: String, params: WritableMap?) {
        reactNativeHost.reactInstanceManager.currentReactContext
                ?.getJSModule(DeviceEventManagerModule.RCTDeviceEventEmitter::class.java)
                ?.emit(eventName, params)
    }

In order to access reactNativeHost your FullScreenActivity must be instance of ReactActivity

JS code:

this.subscription = DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('activityState', event => {
                     console.log(event.active)
                    });
