Summary

I've encountered a bug when routing to a href from a notification (in this case using tabs). On expo-router@3.4.8, routing from a notification on ios works as expected. On android, this does not work at all. The notification message press is received and the router attempts to navigate, but nothing happens on screen (if on index) or it shows the index. In my reproducible example, the logs indicate the view the notification is supposed to route to does render, but on screen it stays on the (tabs)/index (aka Tab One) or if you are on (tabs)/three and attempt to route to /two, it will go to (tabs)/index on screen.

To send a notification, I used https://expo.dev/notifications with a Data (JSON) of {"url":"/two"}.

Example log (from reproducible example) loading the app, going to tab Three, then pressing a notification to go to tab Two:

 LOG  Render Tab One
 LOG  not mounted
 LOG  Render Tab Three
 LOG  subscription redirect
 LOG  redirect to: /two
 LOG  Render Tab Two

expo-router@3.5.0 exhibits the same behavior. This may be a separate bug, but in 3.5.0 I noticed that routing to a href from a notification with a param is broken compared to 3.4.8 (tested on ios). So for example, routing to /user/some-uuid where there is a file app/(tabs)/user/[id].tsx will render the view with id as undefined via const { id } = useLocalSearchParams().
