Foreground notifications on iOS only show after you force quit and relaunch the app

[benwhomsley]

Bug report

Current behavior:
After you accept the permission prompt on iOS and send push notifications while the app is in the foreground, the app receives the data but doesn't display a native notification. If you then force quit the app and relaunch it and while the app is in the foreground send push notifications again they do come display as native notifications.

This has been tested on test app (https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebasex-test) which produces the same results.

Expected behavior:
After you accept the permission prompt on iOS and send push notifications while the app is in the foreground, you should see a native notification.

Steps to reproduce:

• Run the test app (https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebasex-test), making sure to have gone through all the setup steps as documented.
• Accept the push notification prompt and keep the app in the foreground
• Using the device token that's displayed on screen send a push notification to the device, the message will appear in the activity log but not trigger a native notification.

The payload used was as follows (device tokens have been removed):
{ "registration_ids": [ ], "notification": { "title": "Hello there", "body": "Have a great day", "sound": "default" }, "data": { "notification_foreground": "true" } }
