Use vibration when the application is running in the background

Question

I have a function that starts at the beginning of the application and listens when a notification appears

messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler(async remoteMessage => {
  Vibration.vibrate(1000)
  console.log('Message handled in the background!', remoteMessage);
});

Inside, I caused a vibration

When the application is turned on, the vibration works correctly

When the application runs in the background, there is no vibration at all

Is there a way for it to work?

The vibration when your app is in the background depends on the settings of your phone and not of the app. For instance if you have an iPhone, settings -> sounds & Haptics you will find:
