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: "21.1.0"

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

    <application ....>
        <!-- Change the value to true to enable pop-up for in foreground on receiving remote notifications (for prevent duplicating while showing local notifications set this to false) -->
        <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_foreground"
                    android:value="false"/>
        <!-- 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" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
                <action android:name="com.htc.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON"/>
            </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 your app has an @Override on onNewIntent in MainActivity.java ensure that function includes a super call on onNewIntent (if your MainActivity.java does not have an @Override for onNewIntent skip this):

    @Override
    public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
        ...
        super.onNewIntent(intent);
        ...
    }

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

DO NOT USE .configure() INSIDE A COMPONENT, EVEN App

If you do, notification handlers will not fire, because they are not loaded. Instead, use .configure() in the app's first file, usually index.js.

import PushNotificationIOS from "@react-native-community/push-notification-ios";
import PushNotification from "react-native-push-notification";

// Must be outside of any component LifeCycle (such as `componentDidMount`).
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
  },

  // (optional) Called when the user fails to register for remote notifications. Typically occurs when APNS is having issues, or the device is a simulator. (iOS)
  onRegistrationError: function(err) {
    console.error(err.message, err);
  },

  // 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 or the defined userInfo in local notifications
}

Local Notifications

PushNotification.localNotification(details: Object)

EXAMPLE:

PushNotification.localNotification({
  /* Android Only Properties */
  channelId: "your-channel-id", // (required) channelId, if the channel doesn't exist, notification will not trigger.

  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
  allowWhileIdle: false, // (optional) set notification to work while on doze, default: false

  /* Android Only Properties */
  repeatTime: 1, // (optional) Increment of configured repeateType. Check 'Repeating Notifications' section for more info.
});

Get the initial notification

PushNotification.popInitialNotification(callback)

EXAMPLE:

PushNotification.popInitialNotification((notification) => {
  console.log('Initial Notification', notification);
});

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)

To use channels, create them at startup and pass the matching channelId through to PushNotification.localNotification or PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule.

import PushNotification, {Importance} from 'react-native-push-notification';
...
  PushNotification.createChannel(
    {
      channelId: "channel-id", // (required)
      channelName: "My channel", // (required)
      channelDescription: "A channel to categorise your notifications", // (optional) default: undefined.
      playSound: false, // (optional) default: true
      soundName: "default", // (optional) See `soundName` parameter of `localNotification` function
      importance: Importance.HIGH, // (optional) default: Importance.HIGH. Int value of the Android notification importance
      vibrate: true, // (optional) default: true. Creates the default vibration patten if true.
    },
    (created) => console.log(`createChannel returned '${created}'`) // (optional) callback returns whether the channel was created, false means it already existed.
  );

NOTE: Without channel, notifications don't work

In the notifications options, you must provide a channel id with channelId: "your-channel-id", if the channel doesn't exist the notification might not be triggered. Once the channel is created, the channel cannot be updated. Make sure your channelId is different if you change these options. If you have created a channel in another way, it will apply options of the 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" />

For local notifications, the same kind of option is available:

you can use:

  <meta-data
      android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.default_notification_channel_id"
      android:value="@string/default_notification_channel_id" />

If not defined, fallback to the Firebase value defined in the AndroidManifest:

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

If not defined, fallback to the default Firebase channel id fcm_fallback_notification_channel

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(channel_id, function (exists) {
  console.log(exists); // true/false
});

Channel blocked

You can check if a channel blocked with:

PushNotification.channelBlocked(channel_id, function (blocked) {
  console.log(blocked); // true/false
});

Delete channel

You can delete a channel 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()

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

Constants available on the Importance object. import PushNotification, {Importance} from 'react-native-push-notification';

Available options:

Importance.DEFAULT = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT
Importance.HIGH = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH
Importance.LOW = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW
Importance.MIN = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MIN
Importance.NONE= NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_NONE
Importance.UNSPECIFIED = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_UNSPECIFIED

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

Show notifications while the app is in foreground

If you want a consistent results in Android & iOS with the most flexibility, it is best to handle it manually by prompting a local notification when onNotification is triggered by a remote push notification on foreground (check notification.foreground prop).

Watch out for an infinite loop triggering onNotification - remote & local notification will trigger it. You can overcome this by marking local notifications' data.

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.

iOS

Property repeatType can only be day.

Android

Property repeatType could be one of month, week, day, hour, minute, time.

The interval used can be configured to a different interval using repeatTime. If repeatType is time, repeatTime must be specified as the number of milliseconds between each interval. For example, to configure a notification every other day

PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule({
    ...
    repeatType: 'day',
    repeatTime: 2,
    ...
});

Notification Actions

(Android Only)

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" />

Notifications with inline reply:

You must register an action as "ReplyInput", this will show in the notifications an input to write in.

EXAMPLE:

PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule({
  message: "My Notification Message", // (required)
  date: new Date(Date.now() + (60 * 1000)), // in 60 secs
  actions: ["ReplyInput"],
  reply_placeholder_text: "Write your response...", // (required)
  reply_button_text: "Reply" // (required)
});

To get the text from the notification:

...
if(notification.action === "ReplyInput"){
  console.log("texto", notification.reply_text)// this will contain the inline reply text. 
}
...

For iOS, you can use:

PushNotification.setNotificationCategories(categories);

And use the category field in the notification.

Documentation here 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.

Android Only Methods

PushNotification.subscribeToTopic(topic: string) Subscribe to a topic (works only with Firebase)

PushNotification.unsubscribeFromTopic(topic: string) Unsubscribe from a topic (works only with Firebase)

Android Custom Notification Handling

Unlike iOS, Android apps handle the creation of their own notifications. React Native Push Notifications does a "best guess" to create and handle incoming notifications. However, when using 3rd party notification platforms and tools, the initial notification creation process may need to be customized.

Customizing Notification Creation

If your notification service uses a custom data payload format, React Native Push Notifications will not be able to parse the data correctly to create an initial notification.

For these cases, you should:

Remove the intent handler configuration for React Native Push Notifications from your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml.
Implement initial notification creation as per the instructions from your Provider.

Handling Custom Payloads

Data payloads of notifications from 3rd party services may not match the format expected by React Native Push Notification. When tapped, these notifications will not pass the details and data to the onNotification() event handler. Custom IntentHandlers allow you to fix this so that correct notification objects are sent to your onNotification() method.

Custom handlers are added in Application init or MainActivity.onCreate() methods:

RNPushNotification.IntentHandlers.add(new RNPushNotification.RNIntentHandler() {
  @Override
  public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    // If your provider requires some parsing on the intent before the data can be
    // used, add that code here. Otherwise leave empty.
  }

  @Nullable
  @Override
  public Bundle getBundleFromIntent(Intent intent) {
    // This should return the bundle data that will be serialized to the `notification.data`
    // property sent to the `onNotification()` handler. Return `null` if there is no data
    // or this is not an intent from your provider.
    
    // Example:
    if (intent.hasExtra("MY_NOTIFICATION_PROVIDER_DATA_KEY")) {
      return intent.getBundleExtra("MY_NOTIFICATION_PROVIDER_DATA_KEY");
    }
    return null;
  }
});

Checking Notification Permissions

PushNotification.checkPermissions(callback: Function) Check permissions

callback will be invoked with a permissions object:

alert: boolean
badge: boolean
sound: boolean

iOS Only Methods

PushNotification.getApplicationIconBadgeNumber(callback: Function) Get badge number
