I’m developing a React Native app with push notifications.The Notification triggers from WebSocket. Currently, my AndroidManifest.xml includes:

My app uses a foreground service for push notifications, and it still receives messages even after the app is killed.

Recently, Google Play flagged my app with the following message:

Permissions for Foreground Services: Play Console declaration and/or app description in Google Play Store does not sufficiently demonstrate the use of permission.

I want to make my app compliant with Play Store rules.

My questions:

1. Do I need to remove the FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC permission if I’m only handling push notifications?

2. Is there a recommended way to receive push notifications after the app is killed without using a foreground service?

3. How do other React Native developers implement FCM / push notifications that comply with Google Play foreground service policies?

Any guidance or sample implementation would be appreciated.
