Change your componentDidMount function to

componentDidMount(){
  Proximity.addListener(this._proximityListener.bind(this));
}

Turn your _proximityListener function into an arrow function like this:

_proximityListener = (data) => {...

This will bind the method to the class and give that method access to the 'this' keyword. :)
