iOS manual Installation

The component uses PushNotificationIOS for the iOS part.

Please see: PushNotificationIOS

Android manual Installation

NOTE: firebase-messaging, prior to version 15 requires to have the same version number in order to work correctly at build time and at run time. To use a specific version:

In your android/build.gradle

ext {
    googlePlayServicesVersion = "<Your play services version>" // default: "+"
    firebaseMessagingVersion = "<Your Firebase version>" // default: "+"

    // Other settings
    compileSdkVersion = <Your compile SDK version> // default: 23
    buildToolsVersion = "<Your build tools version>" // default: "23.0.1"
    targetSdkVersion = <Your target SDK version> // default: 23
    supportLibVersion = "<Your support lib version>" // default: 23.1.1
}

NOTE: localNotification() works without changes in the application part, while localNotificationSchedule() only works with these changes:

In your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

    .....
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

    <application ....>
        <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_name"
                android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL NAME"/>
        <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_description"
                    android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL DESCRIPTION"/>

        <!-- Change the value to true to enable pop-up for in foreground (remote-only, for local use ignoreInForeground) -->
        <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_foreground"
                    android:value="false"/>
        <!-- Change the value to false if you don't want the creation of the default channel -->
        <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.channel_create_default"
                    android:value="true"/>
        <!-- Change the resource name to your App's accent color - or any other color you want -->
        <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_color"
                    android:resource="@color/white"/> <!-- or @android:color/{name} to use a standard color -->

        <receiver android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationActions" />
        <receiver android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationPublisher" />
        <receiver android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationBootEventReceiver">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

        <service
            android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationListenerService"
            android:exported="false" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>
     .....

If not using a built in Android color (@android:color/{name}) for the notification_color meta-data item. In android/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml (Create the file if it doesn't exist).

<resources>
    <color name="white">#FFF</color>
</resources>

If you use remote notifications

Make sure you have installed setup Firebase correctly.

In android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ...
    dependencies {
        ...
        classpath('com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3')
        ...
    }
}

In android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
  ...
  implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.3.0'
  ...
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Then put your google-services.json in android/app/.

Note: firebase/release-notes

The Firebase Android library firebase-core is no longer needed. This SDK included the Firebase SDK for Google Analytics.

Now, to use Analytics or any Firebase product that recommends the use of Analytics (see table below), you need to explicitly add the Analytics dependency: com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.3.0.

If you don't use autolink

In android/settings.gradle

...
include ':react-native-push-notification'
project(':react-native-push-notification').projectDir = file('../node_modules/react-native-push-notification/android')

In your android/app/build.gradle

 dependencies {
    ...
    implementation project(':react-native-push-notification')
    ...
 }

Manually register module in MainApplication.java (if you did not use react-native link):

import com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.ReactNativePushNotificationPackage;  // <--- Import Package

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {

  private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
      @Override
      protected boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
        return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
      }

      @Override
      protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {

      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new ReactNativePushNotificationPackage() // <---- Add the Package
      );
    }
  };

  ....
}

Usage

import PushNotificationIOS from "@react-native-community/push-notification-ios";
var PushNotification = require("react-native-push-notification");

PushNotification.configure({
  // (optional) Called when Token is generated (iOS and Android)
  onRegister: function (token) {
    console.log("TOKEN:", token);
  },

  // (required) Called when a remote is received or opened, or local notification is opened
  onNotification: function (notification) {
    console.log("NOTIFICATION:", notification);

    // process the notification

    // (required) Called when a remote is received or opened, or local notification is opened
    notification.finish(PushNotificationIOS.FetchResult.NoData);
  },

  // (optional) Called when Registered Action is pressed and invokeApp is false, if true onNotification will be called (Android)
  onAction: function (notification) {
    console.log("ACTION:", notification.action);
    console.log("NOTIFICATION:", notification);

    // process the action
  },

  // IOS ONLY (optional): default: all - Permissions to register.
  permissions: {
    alert: true,
    badge: true,
    sound: true,
  },

  // Should the initial notification be popped automatically
  // default: true
  popInitialNotification: true,

  /**
   * (optional) default: true
   * - Specified if permissions (ios) and token (android and ios) will requested or not,
   * - if not, you must call PushNotificationsHandler.requestPermissions() later
   * - if you are not using remote notification or do not have Firebase installed, use this:
   *     requestPermissions: Platform.OS === 'ios'
   */
  requestPermissions: true,
});

Example app

Example folder contains an example app to demonstrate how to use this package. The notification Handling is done in NotifService.js.

Please test your PRs with this example app before submitting them. It'll help maintaining this repo.

Handling Notifications

When any notification is opened or received the callback onNotification is called passing an object with the notification data.

Notification object example:

{
    foreground: false, // BOOLEAN: If the notification was received in foreground or not
    userInteraction: false, // BOOLEAN: If the notification was opened by the user from the notification area or not
    message: 'My Notification Message', // STRING: The notification message
    data: {}, // OBJECT: The push data
}

Local Notifications

PushNotification.localNotification(details: Object)

EXAMPLE:

PushNotification.localNotification({
  /* Android Only Properties */
  id: 0, // (optional) Valid unique 32 bit integer specified as string. default: Autogenerated Unique ID
  ticker: "My Notification Ticker", // (optional)
  showWhen: true, // (optional) default: true
  autoCancel: true, // (optional) default: true

  bigText: "My big text that will be shown when notification is expanded", // (optional) default: "message" prop
  subText: "This is a subText", // (optional) default: none
  bigPictureUrl: "https://www.example.tld/picture.jpg", // (optional) default: undefined
  color: "red", // (optional) default: system default
  vibrate: true, // (optional) default: true
  vibration: 300, // vibration length in milliseconds, ignored if vibrate=false, default: 1000
  tag: "some_tag", // (optional) add tag to message
  group: "group", // (optional) add group to message
  groupSummary: false, // (optional) set this notification to be the group summary for a group of notifications, default: false
  ongoing: false, // (optional) set whether this is an "ongoing" notification
  priority: "high", // (optional) set notification priority, default: high
  visibility: "private", // (optional) set notification visibility, default: private
  importance: "high", // (optional) set notification importance, default: high
  allowWhileIdle: false, // (optional) set notification to work while on doze, default: false
  ignoreInForeground: false, // (optional) if true, the notification will not be visible when the app is in the foreground (useful for parity with how iOS notifications appear)
  shortcutId: "shortcut-id", // (optional) If this notification is duplicative of a Launcher shortcut, sets the id of the shortcut, in case the Launcher wants to hide the shortcut, default undefined
  channelId: "your-custom-channel-id", // (optional) custom channelId, if the channel doesn't exist, it will be created with options passed above (importance, vibration, sound). Once the channel is created, the channel will not be update. Make sure your channelId is different if you change these options. If you have created a custom channel, it will apply options of the channel.

  actions: '["Yes", "No"]', // (Android only) See the doc for notification actions to know more
  invokeApp: true, // (optional) This enable click on actions to bring back the application to foreground or stay in background, default: true

  /* iOS only properties */
  alertAction: "view", // (optional) default: view
  category: "", // (optional) default: empty string
  userInfo: {}, // (optional) default: {} (using null throws a JSON value '<null>' error)

  /* iOS and Android properties */
  title: "My Notification Title", // (optional)
  message: "My Notification Message", // (required)
  playSound: false, // (optional) default: true
  soundName: "default", // (optional) Sound to play when the notification is shown. Value of 'default' plays the default sound. It can be set to a custom sound such as 'android.resource://com.xyz/raw/my_sound'. It will look for the 'my_sound' audio file in 'res/raw' directory and play it. default: 'default' (default sound is played)
  number: 10, // (optional) Valid 32 bit integer specified as string. default: none (Cannot be zero)
  repeatType: "day", // (optional) Repeating interval. Check 'Repeating Notifications' section for more info.
});

Scheduled Notifications

PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule(details: Object)

EXAMPLE:

PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule({
  //... You can use all the options from localNotifications
  message: "My Notification Message", // (required)
  date: new Date(Date.now() + 60 * 1000), // in 60 secs
});

Custom sounds

In android, add your custom sound file to [project_root]/android/app/src/main/res/raw

In iOS, add your custom sound file to the project Resources in xCode.

In the location notification json specify the full file name:

soundName: 'my_sound.mp3'

Channel Management (Android)

This library doesn't include a full Channel Management at the moment. Channels are generated on the fly when you pass options to PushNotification.localNotification or PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule.

The pattern of channel_id is:

rn-push-notification-channel-id-(importance: default "4")(-soundname, default if playSound "-default")-(vibration, default "300")

By default, 1 channel is created:

• rn-push-notification-channel-id-4-default-300 (used for remote notification if none already exist).

you can avoid the default creation by using this:

  <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.channel_create_default"
          android:value="false"/>

NOTE: Without channel, remote notifications don't work

In the notifications options, you can provide a custom channel id with channelId: "your-custom-channel-id", if the channel doesn't exist, it will be created with options passed above (importance, vibration, sound). Once the channel is created, the channel will not be update. Make sure your channelId is different if you change these options. If you have created a custom channel in another way, it will apply options of the channel.

Custom and generated channels can have custom name and description in the AndroidManifest.xml, only if the library is responsible of the creation of the channel.

  <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_name.[CHANNEL_ID]"
          android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL NAME FOR CHANNEL_ID"/>
  <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_description.[CHANNEL_ID]"
              android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL DESCRIPTION FOR CHANNEL_ID"/>

For example:

  <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_name.rn-push-notification-channel-id-4-300"
          android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL NAME FOR SILENT CHANNEL"/>
  <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_description.rn-push-notification-channel-id-4-300"
              android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL DESCRIPTION FOR SILENT CHANNEL"/>

If you want to use a different default channel for remote notification, refer to the documentation of Firebase:

Set up a Firebase Cloud Messaging client app on Android

  <meta-data
      android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_channel_id"
      android:value="@string/default_notification_channel_id" />

List channels

You can list available channels with:

PushNotification.getChannels(function (channel_ids) {
  console.log(channel_ids); // ['channel_id_1']
});

Channel exists

You can check if a channel exists with:

PushNotification.channelExists(function (exists) {
  console.log(exists); // true/false
});

List channels

You can list available channels with:

PushNotification.deleteChannel(channel_id);

Cancelling notifications

1) cancelLocalNotifications

The id parameter for PushNotification.localNotification is required for this operation. The id supplied will then be used for the cancel operation.

PushNotification.localNotification({
    ...
    id: '123'
    ...
});
PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications({id: '123'});

iOS: userInfo is populated id if not defined this allow the previous method

2) cancelAllLocalNotifications

PushNotification.cancelAllLocalNotifications()

Cancels all scheduled notifications AND clears the notifications alerts that are in the notification centre.

NOTE: there is currently no api for removing specific notification alerts from the notification centre.

3) removeAllDeliveredNotifications

PushNotificationIOS.removeAllDeliveredNotifications();

Remove all delivered notifications from Notification Center

4) getDeliveredNotifications

PushNotificationIOS.getDeliveredNotifications(callback);

Provides you with a list of the app’s notifications that are still displayed in Notification Center

Parameters:

A delivered notification is an object containing:

• identifier : The identifier of this notification.
• title : The title of this notification.
• body : The body of this notification.
• category : The category of this notification (optional).
• userInfo : An object containing additional notification data (optional).
• thread-id : The thread identifier of this notification, if has one.

5) removeDeliveredNotifications

PushNotificationIOS.removeDeliveredNotifications(identifiers);

Removes the specified notifications from Notification Center

Parameters:

6) getScheduledLocalNotifications

PushNotificationIOS.getScheduledLocalNotifications(callback);

Provides you with a list of the app’s scheduled local notifications that are yet to be displayed

Parameters:

Returns an array of local scheduled notification objects containing:

Abandon Permissions

PushNotification.abandonPermissions() Revokes the current token and unregister for all remote notifications received via APNS or FCM.

Notification priority

(optional) Specify priority to set priority of notification. Default value: "high"

Available options:

"max" = NotficationCompat.PRIORITY_MAX "high" = NotficationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH "low" = NotficationCompat.PRIORITY_LOW "min" = NotficationCompat.PRIORITY_MIN "default" = NotficationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT

More information: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html#PRIORITY_DEFAULT

Notification visibility

(optional) Specify visibility to set visibility of notification. Default value: "private"

Available options:

"private" = NotficationCompat.VISIBILITY_PRIVATE "public" = NotficationCompat.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC "secret" = NotficationCompat.VISIBILITY_SECRET

More information: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html#VISIBILITY_PRIVATE

Notification importance

(optional) Specify importance to set importance of notification. Default value: "high"

Available options:

"default" = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT "max" = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MAX "high" = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH "low" = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW "min" = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MIN "none" = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_NONE "unspecified" = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_UNSPECIFIED

More information: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/NotificationManager#IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT

Notification while idle

(optional) Specify allowWhileIdle to set if the notification should be allowed to execute even when the system is on low-power idle modes.

On Android 6.0 (API level 23) and forward, the Doze was introduced to reduce battery consumption when the device is unused for long periods of time. But while on Doze the AlarmManager alarms (used to show scheduled notifications) are deferred to the next maintenance window. This may cause the notification to be delayed while on Doze.

This can significantly impact the power use of the device when idle. So it must only be used when the notification is required to go off on a exact time, for example on a calendar notification.

More information: https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby

Repeating Notifications

(optional) Specify repeatType and optionally repeatTime (Android-only) while scheduling the local notification. Check the local notification example above.

Property repeatType could be one of month, week, day, hour, minute, time. If specified as time, it should be accompanied by one more parameter repeatTime which should the number of milliseconds between each interval.

Notification Actions

(Android only) Refer to this issue to see an example of a notification action.

This is done by specifying an actions parameters while configuring the local notification. This is an array of strings where each string is a notification action that will be presented with the notification.

For e.g. actions: ['Accept', 'Reject']

When you handle actions in background (invokeApp: false), you can open the application and pass the initial notification by using use PushNotification.invokeApp(notification).

Make sure you have the receiver in AndroidManifest.xml:

  <receiver android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationActions" />

For iOS, you can use this package to add notification actions.

Set application badge icon

PushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(number: number)

Works natively in iOS.

Uses the ShortcutBadger on Android, and as such will not work on all Android devices.
