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 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.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
);
}
};
....
}

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

},
// 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

* 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

});
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'
Cancelling notifications

Provides you with a list of the app’s notifications that are still displayed in Notification Center
Parameters:
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
callback | function | Yes | Function which receive an array of delivered notifications. |
A delivered notification is an object containing:
identifier
: The identifier of this notification.title
: The title of this notification.body

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
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.
Two things are required to setup notification actions.
1) Specify notification actions for a notification
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.
2) Specify handlers for the notification actions
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.
