GCM messages deliver only when app is open

I don't receive GCM push notifications for my Android app when app is closed. However if I send notification and my app is open, the message gets delivered instantly.

The format that I use for GCM:

{
    to: 'deviceToken'
    priority: 'high',
    data: {
        id: notification.id,
        message: notification.message,
        path: notification.path
    }
}

I am sending silent notifications, I aware that I don't have "notification" field. When I receive silent notification, I send visible local notification. I receive notifications when I debug or when app is running, so there is no reason to think that this workflow doesn't work.

It's a React Native app, I used https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification for push notifications.

It turned out, I just needed to remove id from data payload and it started working as expected. Maybe it's something internal with the library that I am using or google doesn't like it, not sure.

{
    to: 'deviceToken'
    priority: 'high',
    data: {
        message: notification.message,
        path: notification.path
    }
}
