How to check if notification is enabled on Android

[vincent-paing]

in iOS, we can check with getNotificationSettings and use the authorizationStatus attribute. Is there an equivalent for Android?

Hey, good question 🤔 You can check on a channel level using isChannelBlocked but if you need to check on an app level, it looks like we don't have that.

I believe you're the first person to ask for this, so will mark it as a feature request 😎

However, by default when the app is initially installed, notifications are enabled, and you can listen to events to track when the user has disabled them here

You can also use react-native-permission as they have a function checkNotifications which will let you know on an app level if a used has turned them off.

Hope that helps!

I noticed the way the other lib does is by playing with alert flag for android app level. See this PR for example. I could submit a PR similar to that one if we could do the same with alert flag. Or do you have an idea on how it should be in mind?
