How to notify listeners inside an Android service

I’m making a Capacitor plugin that will listen on every new notification posted. I’ve created a NotificationListener service which is working properly. However, I couldn’t find a way to send events back to the plugin.

NotifListenerPlugin.java

public static void sendNotify(StatusBarNotification n) {
        Log.i("Notification","Recieved Notify event");
        JSObject ret = new JSObject();
        Bundle extras = n.getNotification().extras;
        ret.put("title",getExtra(extras,"android.title"));
        ret.put("packageName",n.getPackageName());
        ret.put("text",getExtra(extras,"android.text"));
        ret.put("textLines",getExtraLines(extras,"android.textLines"));
        notifyListeners("notification", ret); // Where the issues caused.
    }

NotifListenerService.java

    @Override
    public void onNotificationPosted(StatusBarNotification sbn) {
        String pk = sbn.getPackageName();
        if(pk.equals("android") && ignorePkg(pk) && sbn.isOngoing()) return;
        Log.d(TAG, "Notification from " + sbn.getPackageName());
        if (!pk.equals("android") && !ignorePkg(pk) && !sbn.isOngoing()) {
            Log.d(TAG,"Try to send..");
            NotifListenerPlugin.sendNotify(sbn); // Static function
        }
    }

If I make my sendNotify static, notifyListeners will not be available. I try making sendNotify non-static and do something like

    @Override
    public void onNotificationPosted(StatusBarNotification sbn) {
            ...
            NotifListenerPlugin notif = new NotifListenerPlugin();
            notif.sendNotify(sbn);
            ...
    }

It still doesn’t work anyway. How can I send events from my service back to the plugin?

I found triggerJSEvent but it seems like we can’t get the bridge if it isn’t inside the plugin itself.

Any help or suggestions are welcome.
Thank you.
