Android 12 (SDK 31+): Tap on notifications only opens app when notifications are grouped. about cordova-plugin-local-notifications HOT 50 OPEN

Hi,
I've done a fix to make notifications clickable on android 12+. You can find it here https://github.com/powowbox/cordova-plugin-local-notification-12. If it's ok I will make a PR.
Important: add <preference name="AndroidLaunchMode" value="singleInstance"/> in your config.xml, to avoid to launch the app even if it's in background.

@Filavision Hi.
On my fork, If an action is set, the click on the notification is disabled to avoid the user clicks involuntary on the notification before discovering the action button.
I see 2 options: you add another button ‘open app’ or I restore the previous behavior and add an option ‘disableNotificationClick’.

Hi, my fork is fully functional on android 12 and 13. Just be careful, if you use action buttons in your notifications. In this case, I voluntarily disable the click on the notification to avoid the user clicks on notification before discovering the buttons.

@fquirin
For the change list, look at the section "Purpose of this fork" on the page of the fork.
I've done several tests since the last two weeks on android 7, 12 and 13 and I didn't notice any problem.

Can you try my fork and confirm if the issue persists there?

The app still doesn't open when i click on the notification. I have also a refresh button at the notification which refresh a random number in the notification. This button also doesn't work anymore with your fork.

Are there any errors reported in logcat?

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Tested again. The refresh button works (don't know what happens at the first test) but the app doesn't come in foreground / open when clicking on the notification.

@DavidTalevski I use your fork because it's most recent and the issue occurs in your fork as well. The log cat error is Indirect notification activity start (trampoline) from com.myapp.app blocked and the issue is described with a solution in the link given above. I checked the builder.java sources but I don't feel enough good to modify that and I noticed there's no reference to the NotificationTrampolineActivity which is the source of the problems as described in the link.

Currently I don't have an android 12 phone available, nor can I simulate one, in order to reproduce the issue and implement the fix. I might be able to get my hands on one next week. If someone implements the fix I will be more than happy to include it in my fork.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

@bhandaribhumin I'll try but from what I have see in the repo your fork also doesn't refer the trampoline so I don't expect it works, but I'll try just to confirm that.

Update: Same thing and the same error using your fork. Sorry.

Please take a look when you have the v12 phone. Thank you.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

I realized that when I closed the app with the back button navigator.app.exitApp();, clicking on the notification opens the app. If I just push the app to the background or close the app completely, clicking the notification doesn't work.

Hi Rafellop
Does your fix also include the triggering of events e.g onTrigger also last local notifcation for android 12 did not have events or were not functional.

@DavidTalevski have you maybe managed to put your hands on an Android 12 device to verify that?

Hi Rafaellop.

I am using local notifications and the local notifications 12 is not supporting the events subscription, are you able to resolve this on your fork also? I need the event onTrigger on the local notifications. The code below works on lower version of the plugin are you able to set this up on your fork.

onDeviceReady() {
this.localNotifications.on('trigger').subscribe((test: any) => {
console.log('Trigger' + JSON.stringify(test));
});
}

Hi Bhandaribhumin

Are you able to subscribe to events on your fork version?. I'm using this plugin and the android 12 is not subscribing to events onTrigger. Your assistance will be much appreciated.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

No event works properly.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

I have installed this fork link https://github.com/bhandaribhumin/cordova-plugin-local-notification-12 last week, l can assure you the events function call below does not register when the Local notification is triggered. Please sent me the right fork link of the local notifications l can reinstall a new one.

onDeviceReady() {
this.localNotifications.on('trigger').subscribe((test: any) => {
console.log('Trigger' + JSON.stringify(test));
});
}

Below is my package JSON

But I just told you that no event works properly.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

My apologies of the misinterpretation of your comment, the events is this something in progress or there is no hope on the plugin?

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Hi Powowbox.

Does your fix also include other events e.g ontrigger code below.
onDeviceReady() {
this.localNotifications.on('trigger').subscribe((test: any) => {
console.log('Trigger' + JSON.stringify(test));
});
}

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Hi bevinGithub,
I've done at test on android 12 by running

cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({id: 3, text: "xxxx", triggerInApp: true, trigger: {at: new Date(new Date().getTime() + 5000)}})

the trigger event is correctly raised and received in
cordova.plugins.notification.local.on('trigger', (args) => console.log('===>', args));

The click event works also correctly.

Hi Powowbox.

I am using ionic l will try install your version and test it thanks very much for the response.

i have install your version with the command below:
ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/powowbox/cordova-plugin-local-notification-12.git

How do l import the cordova plugin in ionic for the same pluginin documentation is like below
import { LocalNotifications } from '@awesome-cordova-plugins/local-notifications/ngx';

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Sorry, I can’t help I don’t use awesome-cordova-plugins.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Im just showing you how l import awesome-cordova-plugins. I want to know how to import your cordova plugin in ionic.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

use cordova plugin add https://github.com/powowbox/cordova-plugin-local-notification-12.git --save --noregistery. Then check in your package.json, you must find a line like "cordova-plugin-local-notification-12": "git+https://github.com/powowbox/cordova-plugin-local-notification-12.git", in the dependencies object and in the plugins object you must find "cordova-plugin-local-notification-12": {}.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Hi powowbox.

I have managed to to get your fork working now, the issue was to get the var reference of the cordova in ionic and call the function as you supplied before, thanks for your assistance the notifications events are working now.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Hi @powowbox Thanks for the fix, I've added your fix to my branch. Can you please take a look if everything looks goot to you then I'll merge to main. Thanks a lot, cheers.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

hi Powowbox.

The setting triggerInapp does make the plugin subscribe to events but stops the notification being displayed in the phones default notifications area even if the foreground setting is true. Is there way to show the notification popup if the app is closed as the phone just vibrates and the light is on and plays the sound and no popup of notification these are the settings l have
cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({
id: 3,
text: 'xxxx',
foreground: true,
lockscreen: true,
priority: true,
triggerInApp: true,
data: { name: 'Bevin', surname: 'Masevenza', cell: '0734913786' },
trigger: {at: new Date(new Date().getTime() + 5000)}
});

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

@bhandaribhumin Hi, thanks for merging my changes. I haven't done any test on your merge, I only look at the merge. It sounds good.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Hi, @bevinGithub
`
// Show notification if we should (triggerInApp is false)

    // or if we can't trigger in the app due to:

    //   1.  No autoLaunch configured/supported and app is not running.

    //   2.  Any SDK >= Oreo is asleep (must be triggered here)

    boolean didShowNotification = false;

    if (!options.triggerInApp() || (!autoLaunch && !checkAppRunning())
    ) {

        didShowNotification = true;

        notification.show();

    }

`

Following the code above, it seems the behaviour you describe corresponds to the expected one.
If you enable the trigger option, when the app is visible, it's its responsability to display the notification to the user, so no need to display it in the notification center.
If the app is closed, since the app cannot display the notification, it must be displayed in the notification center.

There is one last case, that sounds to not be correctly handled: when the app is in background, the notification isn't displayed in the notification center even if the app cannot displayed show it to the user. I can try to fix it.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

hi Powowbox.

If i add the triggerInApp: true, the events are subscribing but the app is not showing the Notification in the notifications center.
I need to show the notifications in the notification center and still get the trigger events to subscribe which is not working if the setting triggerInApp: false, when true the subscribing to events works as l have another function to play audios or custo music file when the trigger happens.

if triggerInApp: false, l want the subscribing to event onTrigger to still work as it is currently only working when triggerInApp: true, only
Hope you understand what l am saying.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

If I understand well, if triggerInApp is set to true, you want to display the notification in any case, the app is visible or not. It's a very specific need. You can make your own fork. To have the expected behaviour, in the file AbstractNotificationReceiver, change the condition in

`
if (!options.triggerInApp() ||

        (!autoLaunch && !checkAppRunning())

    ) {

        didShowNotification = true;

        notification.show();

    }

`

Remove !options.triggerInApp() from the test and you should have what you want.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Hi Powowbox.

My programming skills are only limited to ionic angular i have zero skills on modifying plugins.

If l remove the triggerInApp: Yes l am not able to subscribe to event onTrigger, the below code will not work if triggerInApp is false or is removed completely.

onDeviceReady() {
this.localNotifications.on('trigger').subscribe((test: any) => {
console.log('Trigger' + JSON.stringify(test));
});
}

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Hello @bevinGithub you can use this method to prompt for runtime permission.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Hi Bhandaribhumin.

I am looking to just get trigger events after the notification triggers l subscribe to the event onTrigger to play custom audios or sound.
onDeviceReady() {
this.localNotifications.on('trigger').subscribe((test: any) => {
console.log('Trigger' + JSON.stringify(test));
});
}

if i have the code below, triggerInApp: true does make evet subscrition happen if l set it to false the trigger events don't work
I need trigger events to work at the same time the notification gets displayed in the notifications center.
cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({
id: 3,
text: 'xxxx',
foreground: true,
lockscreen: true,
priority: true,
triggerInApp: true,
data: { name: 'Bevin', surname: 'Masevenza', cell: '0734913786' },
trigger: {at: new Date(new Date().getTime() + 5000)}
});

Hi @powowbox Thanks for the fix, I've added your fix to my branch. Can you please take a look if everything looks goot to you then I'll merge to main. Thanks a lot, cheers.

Hey! Click on the notification doesn't open my App. I have a "refresh" button in my notification to update the notification with a random number. Clicking the refresh button open the app but clicking the notification does nothing. The app should open when clicking the notification and should not open but update the notification text when clicking the refresh button.
cordova.plugins.notification.local.addActions('refresh',[{id:'refresh',title:'Refresh'}]); cordova.plugins.notification.local.on('refresh',function(){cordova.plugins.notification.local.update({id:1,title:'Title',text:'Random number: '+rand(0,100)});}); cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({id:1,title:'Title',text:'Random number: '+rand(0,100),sound:false,vibrate:false,wakeup:false,priority:-1,actions:'refresh',foreground:true,lockscreen:true,sticky:true,smallIcon:'res://notification_icon'});

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Some info to actually explain why "tap on notifications" does not open the app in Android 12:
It is because of Notification trampoline restrictions. If you deactivate the flag NOTIFICATION_TRAMPOLINE_BLOCK for your app in Android developer options (e.g. on Emulator) it will work again ... obviously this is not a solution, just a test.
The issue seems to be that the PendingIntent attached to the click (the plugin has a ClickReceiver class) is a service not an activity and thus is not allowed to trigger context.startActivity() anymore. I'm currently banging my head against a wall to find how why Google would mess up the API like this 🤕.

@powowbox I see you've refactored AbstractClickReceiver to use an activity instead of a service. That was exactly what I was planning to try next 👍 . Will check it out to see what else you've changed 🙂 .

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Hi, my fork is fully functional on android 12 and 13. Just be careful, if you use action buttons in your notifications. In this case, I voluntarily disable the click on the notification to avoid the user clicks on notification before discovering the buttons.

Saw that and I think it makes total sense 👍 . Any other breaking changes?
Code looks good so far, I'll probably replace my own fork with your one 🙂

[EDIT] One more question @powowbox : The previous IntentService could run in the background because ... well it was a service 😅 . Did you notice any issues due to the replacement with an activity?

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

I've merged all changes from @timkellypa, @bhandaribhumin and @powowbox into my own fork, so we could create a PR for the original repository. But since there are so many changes now, I doubt this PR would ever be accepted 😅

Hi guys are you able to do a fix on IOS for local notifications? events triggering when app is in the background is not subscribing to events IOS 16

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

@bevinGithub I'm not familiar with the iOS code, sorry.

from cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

Hi powowbox.

I have managed to to get your fork working now, the issue was to get the var reference of the cordova in ionic and call the function as you supplied before, thanks for your assistance the notifications events are working now.

How did you do that please?
