I am learning react native and to do so, I am building my first app. However as great as it is, It seems like react native has some limitations.

What I want my app to do is to start running the background as soon as the devise boots up (like the WhatsApp or the alarm app).

And I also want notification like WhatsApp new message notification (overlaying the screen).

I did it with android studio and wanted to do it with react native. So far I did not find any package / library that can do that, is this the limit of react native or is there a package that can do that? Because right now I am thinking of going back to native with android studio.

In android you must ask for necessary permissions in manifest. Also in the phone, you must set battery optimization. In Ios this is the hard one. I cannot do it. Your app must be music app or maps app. Thats all i know.
