I'm sending multiple notifications to my app. What I want to achieve is whenever a user clicks one notification then all notifications in the notification tray disspear.
I've tried adding
notification.android.setAutoCancel(true)
which does the trick for only one notification (the one which is being clicked)
I've also tried:
firebase.notifications().removeAllDeliveredNotifications()
which doesn't have any effect.
How can I achieve this?
Here's my full code:
componentDidMount() {
firebase.notifications().removeAllDeliveredNotifications()
this.notificationDisplayedListener = firebase.notifications().onNotificationDisplayed((notification) => {
});
this.notificationListener = firebase.notifications().onNotification(async (notification) => {
// Process your notification as required
notification.android.setAutoCancel(true)
firebase.notifications().removeAllDeliveredNotifications()
}
async componentWillMount() {
this.notificationDisplayedListener = firebase.notifications().onNotificationDisplayed((notification) => {
});
this.notificationListener = firebase.notifications().onNotification((notification) => {
});
this.notificationDisplayedListener();
this.notificationListener();
}
Try moving the code for removing notifications
(removeAllDeliveredNotifications()) from onNotification listener to onNotificationOpened listener. There might be a race condition as you are trying to remove notifications on arrival.
Also because you want to clear notifications when user taps on one notification.
PS. Keep the notification listeners in either componentDidMount or componentWillMount, not both.

I setup notification system with firebase and react native. It's working fine, but when i receive notification in any state of app(killed, fore or background) and do click notification push me to home screen. I want to go on notification screen when someone click on notification.
How it will possible?
First, you have to add a Firebase Notification listener at the top-level component. I'll suggest placing it in App.js.
Foreground Listener
Background Listener
After that, You have to navigate to a particular screen with the help of a navigation prop. if you place the listener at App.js then you will not have access to the navigation prop since App.js will return the navigation container.
For that, you have to create one helper function like this navigation without prop
e.g.
export const App = () => {
messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler(async remoteMessage => {
navigate('Notification'); //navigate to notification screen
});
const unsubscribe = messaging().onMessage(async remoteMessage => {
//generate local notification using your preferred library
//handle navigation
})
return <RootNavigator />;
};
I'm using this package for implementing local push notification:
https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification
I'm using action button like this to show buttons in my notification along with a text and a title:
PushNotification.localNotification({
...
actions: '["Yes", "No"]'
})
I wanted to know how I can call a function when user clicks on of these actions and app becomes visible?
I've tried PushNotification.configure in my componentDidMount method in my home screen like this but nothing comes up in the console:
PushNotification.configure({
// (required) Called when a remote or local notification is opened or received
onNotification: function(notification) {
console.log("NOTIFICATION:", notification);
if (notification.userInteraction) {
console.log("NOTIFICATION:");
}
// process the notification
}
});
I got it working.
In your App.js you need to set popInitialNotification to true. Something like this:
async componentDidMount() {
PushNotification.configure({
// (required) Called when a remote or local notification is opened or received
onNotification: function(notification) {
console.log("NOTIFICATION:", notification.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
*/
requestPermissions: true
});
}
notification.action will gibe you the label of the button clicked.
In your button/app active event you forgot to call to schedule the notification and actually set when it will arise, so you need to
PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule(details: Object)
Schedule it for now with the same id, then your notification will come up immediately.
See all options for scheduling here
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
});
})();
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.
It's mentioned in the documentation.
Try to follow their example for implementation It will help you to setup in your project.
I am new to React Native and need to implement a functionality where the app needs to send the user a notification every day at a certain time. The data to be shown for each day is stored in a json file on the client side and will not change. The notifications are on a schedule. Given that I was hoping there could be a way to just trigger a notification from the app itself.
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this without having to detach the app from expo? I can't use 'react-native-push-notification'without running react-native link and that requires me to detach the app. Is that right?
Is this possible?
Thanks :)
You can do this with expo using the scheduleLocalNotificationAsync function (have a look at these docs for more details). Make sure you have permission to send notifications first. Note that if the notification triggers when the app is in the foreground you won't see a notification but you can still listen to this event.
i. Ask for permission
import { Permissions } from 'expo';
// ... somewhere before scheduling notifications ...
const { status } = await Permissions.getAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS);
if (status !== 'granted') {
await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS);
}
ii. Schedule the notification
import { Notifications } from 'expo';
const notification = {
title: 'Hi there!',
body: 'Tap me to open the app.',
android: { sound: true }, // Make a sound on Android
ios: { sound: true }, // Make a sound on iOS
};
const options = {
time: Date.now() + 10000, // Schedule it in 10 seconds
repeat: 'day', // Repeat it daily
};
// ... somewhere after requesting permission ...
const id = Notifications.scheduleLocalNotificationAsync(notification, options)
// If you want to react even when your app is still in the
// foreground, you can listen to the event like this:
Notifications.addListener(() => {
console.log('triggered!');
});
iii. Cancel the scheduled notification
You can use the returned id of the scheduleLocalNotificationAsync function to cancel the notification.
import { Notifications } from 'expo';
// ... get the id of the scheduled notification ...
Notifications.cancelScheduledNotificationAsync(id)
I have my app in Expo pushing a notification when somebody sends a message, but if that person sends multiple messages a second notification is pushed.
Is there anything I can do to clear the previous notification, or simply update the notification instead of adding a second notification to the list?
Basically I need to force an override or dismiss previous notifications.
The approach I was hoping to use was to add a listener which cleared notifications before appending, but it seems that this only works when the app is in the foreground.
Is there a recommended approach to this currently?
You can clear any or all previous notifications in expo-notifications. Your question is not clear but I am guessing you want to clear all previous notification if new notification is received. You have to spot the best place when to clear notifications on your code. But here are some tips (use the following code in the useEffect hook) -
// This listener is fired whenever a user taps on or interacts with a notification (works when app is foregrounded, backgrounded, or killed)
responseListener.current =
Notifications.addNotificationResponseReceivedListener((response) => {
// DISMISS ALL NOTIFICATION AFTER INTERACTION
Notifications.dismissAllNotificationsAsync();
});
If you want to dismiss specific notification in that case, use dismissNotificationAsync(identifier: string): Promise method.
Just in case, if you want to dismiss all notifications when receiving a new one while the app is foregrounded (use the following code in the useEffect hook).
// This listener is fired whenever a notification is received while the app is foregrounded
notificationListener.current =
Notifications.addNotificationReceivedListener((notification) => {
// setNotification(notification);
// DISMISS ALL NOTIFICATION UPON RECEIVING NOTIFICATION WHILE IN FOREGROUND
Notifications.dismissAllNotificationsAsync();
});
You can use Notifications.dismissAllNotificationsAsync() method or dismissNotificationAsync(identifier: string): Promise method anywhere you like but you need to spot where to best use them.
_handleNotification = (notification) => {
this.setState({notification: notification});
console.log('get notification', this.state.notification);
let localnotificationId = this.state.notification.notificationId;
setTimeout(function () {
Notifications.dismissNotificationAsync(localnotificationId);
}, 10000)
};
This is how I do in NodeJS
I am using react native v0.45.1.
How can I add to my application notification (no matter if the app is in the background or foreground) that the user can remove only after click an acknowledge button.
I don't want the user to swipe the notification aside without notice it.
how can it be done?
I am not sure https://github.com/wix/react-native-notifications will do what I need.
Edit
I want to have a notification that will act like:
'USB debugging connected
'Touch to disable USB debugging'
The notification can't be removed unless the user actively do something, in my case it will be 'click' on a button
after a lot of digging the solution I implemented was:
setting repeat interval for the notification.
for android:
repeatType: 'time',
repeatTime: timeSpan,
for iOS:
repeatType: 'minute',
when the user click the notification (decided its not the right approached to add actions - buttons - to notification):
PushNotification.configure({
onNotification: (notification) => {
console.log('NOTIFICATION:', notification);
const clicked = notification.userInteraction;
if (clicked) {
if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications({ id: notification.data.id });
} else {
PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications({ id: notification.id });
}
}
},
});
I am aware that this might not be the exact answer to this question. However,
I was looking for a similar solution earlier; how to remove notifications that hasn't been dismissed or opened by a user.
Sometimes the user might open the application / screen, without clicking on the notification. The notification will still be displayed in that case.
Using React Native with Expo, this is the solution I created for removing old notifications created using their Push Notification API.
import * as Notifications from "expo-notifications";
//...
// Remove notifications that exists for this conversation!
useEffect(() => {
Notifications.getPresentedNotificationsAsync().then(res => {
for (let k in res) {
if (
res[k].request.content.data &&
res[k].request.content.data.screen === "Conversations" &&
res[k].request.content.data.conversationId === conversationId
) {
Notifications.dismissNotificationAsync(res[k].request.identifier);
console.log("removed a notification for this conversation");
}
}
});
}, []);
By using the data sent to the Push Notification API, we can determine which notifications should be removed. in this case all notifications containing a conversationId matching the current value from the route are dismissed.
