Many features inspired in complete and well documented (cordova / phonegap) plugin: phonegap-plugin-push
- Do not show notification banner if app is in foreground
- Cancel notifications with the same "id" passed in "cancel" field
- Inbox type notifications cordova plugin docs
- Autoincrement badge number on notifications with field "incrementBadge" when app are in backgroud or closed (badge management was already supported)
- Update SQLite in background on receive push notification, useful if your app uses SQLite for message storage
npm install --save react-native-push-notification or yarn add react-native-push-notification
react-native link react-native-push-notification
NOTE: For Android, you will still have to manually update the AndroidManifest.xml (as below) in order to use Scheduled Notifications.
Having a problem? Read the troubleshooting guide before raising an issue.
The component uses PushNotificationIOS for the iOS part.
Please see: PushNotificationIOS
NOTE: play-service-gcm and 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: "+"
firebaseVersion = "<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 AndroidManifest.xml

});Example folder contains an example app to demonstrate how to use this package. The notification Handling is done in NotifService.js. For Remote notifications, configure your SenderId in app.json. You can also edit it directly in the app.
To send Push notifications, you can use the online tool PushWatch.
Please test your PRs with this example app before submitting them. It'll help maintaining this repo.
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
}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)
autoCancel: true, // (optional) default: true
largeIcon: "ic_launcher", // (optional) default: "ic_launcher"
smallIcon: "ic_notification", // (optional) default: "ic_notification" with fallback for "ic_launcher"

/* 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.
actions: '["Yes", "No"]', // (Android only) See the doc for notification actions to know more
});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
});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'
The id parameter for PushNotification.localNotification is required for this operation. The id supplied will then be used for the cancel operation.
// Android
PushNotification.localNotification({
...
id: '123'
...
});
PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications({id: '123'});(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
(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
(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
The userInfo parameter for PushNotification.localNotification is required for this operation and must contain an id parameter. The id supplied will then be used for the cancel operation.
// IOS
PushNotification.localNotification({
...
userInfo: { id: '123' }
...
});
PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications({id: '123'});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.
(optional) Specify repeatType and optionally repeatTime 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.
(Android only) Refer to this issue to see an example of a notification action.
Two things are required to setup notification actions.
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"]' // Must be in string format
The array itself is specified in string format to circumvent some problems because of the way JSON arrays are handled by react-native android bridge.
For each action specified in the actions field, we need to add a handler that is called when the user clicks on the action. This can be done in the componentWillMount of your main app file or in a separate file which is imported in your main app file. Notification actions handlers can be configured as below:
import PushNotificationAndroid from 'react-native-push-notification'
(function() {
// Register all the valid actions for notifications here and add the action handler for each action
PushNotificationAndroid.registerNotificationActions(['Accept','Reject','Yes','No']);
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('notificationActionReceived', function(action){
console.log ('Notification action received: ' + action);
const info = JSON.parse(action.dataJSON);
if (info.action == 'Accept') {
// Do work pertaining to Accept action here
} else if (info.action == 'Reject') {
// Do work pertaining to Reject action here
}
// Add all the required actions handlers
});
})();
For iOS, you can use this package to add notification actions.
PushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(number: number)
Works natively in iOS.
Uses the ShortcutBadger on Android, and as such will not work on all Android devices.
Same parameters as PushNotification.localNotification()
PushNotification.subscribeToTopic(topic: string) Subscribe to a topic (works only with Firebase)
PushNotification.checkPermissions(callback: Function) Check permissions
callback will be invoked with a permissions object:
alert: booleanbadge: booleansound: boolean
PushNotification.getApplicationIconBadgeNumber(callback: Function) Get badge number
PushNotification.abandonPermissions() Abandon permissions
