npm install --save react-native-push-notification
yarn add react-native-push-notification
NOTE: If you target iOS you also need to follow the installation instructions for PushNotificationIOS since this package depends on it.
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. You should follow their installation instructions.
When done, modify the following method in the file AppDelegate.m
:
// Called when a notification is delivered to a foreground app.
-(void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center
willPresentNotification:(UNNotification *)notification
withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationPresentationOptions options))completionHandler
{
// Still call the JS onNotification handler so it can display the new message right away
NSDictionary *userInfo = notification.request.content.userInfo;
[RNCPushNotificationIOS didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo
fetchCompletionHandler:^void (UIBackgroundFetchResult result){}];
// allow showing foreground notifications
completionHandler(UNNotificationPresentationOptionSound | UNNotificationPresentationOptionAlert | UNNotificationPresentationOptionBadge);
// or if you wish to hide all notification while in foreground replace it with
// completionHandler(UNNotificationPresentationOptionNone);
}
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.VIBRATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<application ....>
<!-- Change the value to true to enable pop-up for in foreground on receiving remote notifications (for prevent duplicating while showing local notifications set this to false) -->
<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.RNPushNotificationActions" />

</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>
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
.
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
);
}
};
....
}
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, usuallyindex.js
.
import PushNotificationIOS from "@react-native-community/push-notification-ios";
import PushNotification from "react-native-push-notification";
// Must be outside of any component LifeCycle (such as `componentDidMount`).
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
// (required) Called when a remote is received or opened, or local notification is opened
notification.finish(PushNotificationIOS.FetchResult.NoData);
},
// (optional) Called when Registered Action is pressed and invokeApp is false, if true onNotification will be called (Android)
onAction: function (notification) {
console.log("ACTION:", notification.action);
console.log("NOTIFICATION:", notification);
// process the action
},
// (optional) Called when the user fails to register for remote notifications. Typically occurs when APNS is having issues, or the device is a simulator. (iOS)
onRegistrationError: function(err) {
console.error(err.message, err);
},
// 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
* - if you are not using remote notification or do not have Firebase installed, use this:
* requestPermissions: Platform.OS === 'ios'
*/
requestPermissions: true,
});
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.
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 or the defined userInfo in local notifications
}
PushNotification.localNotification(details: Object)

usesChronometer: false, // (optional) Show the `when` field as a stopwatch. Instead of presenting `when` as a timestamp, the notification will show an automatically updating display of the minutes and seconds since when. Useful when showing an elapsed time (like an ongoing phone call), default: false.
timeoutAfter: null, // (optional) Specifies a duration in milliseconds after which this notification should be canceled, if it is not already canceled, default: null

});
PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule(details: Object)
EXAMPLE:
PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule({
//... You can use all the options from localNotifications

});
PushNotification.popInitialNotification(callback)
EXAMPLE:
PushNotification.popInitialNotification((notification) => {
console.log('Initial Notification', notification);
});
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'
To use channels, create them at startup and pass the matching channelId
through to PushNotification.localNotification
or PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule
.
PushNotification.createChannel(
{
channelId: "channel-id", // (required)
channelName: "My channel", // (required)
channelDescription: "A channel to categorise your notifications", // (optional) default: undefined.
playSound: false, // (optional) default: true

importance: 4, // (optional) default: 4. Int value of the Android notification importance
vibrate: true, // (optional) default: true. Creates the default vibration patten if true.
},
(created) => console.log(`createChannel returned '${created}'`) // (optional) callback returns whether the channel was created, false means it already existed.
);
NOTE: Without channel, notifications don't work
In the notifications options, you must provide a channel id with channelId: "your-channel-id"
, if the channel doesn't exist the notification might not e triggered. Once the channel is created, the channel cannot be update. Make sure your channelId
is different if you change these options. If you have created a channel in another way, it will apply options of the channel.
If you want to use a different default channel for remote notification, refer to the documentation of Firebase:
Set up a Firebase Cloud Messaging client app on Android
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_channel_id"
android:value="@string/default_notification_channel_id" />
For local notifications, the same kind of option is available:
- you can use:
<meta-data android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.default_notification_channel_id" android:value="@string/default_notification_channel_id" />
- If not defined, fallback to the Firebase value defined in the
AndroidManifest
:<meta-data android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_channel_id" android:value="..." />
- If not defined, fallback to the default Firebase channel id
fcm_fallback_notification_channel
You can list available channels with:
PushNotification.getChannels(function (channel_ids) {
console.log(channel_ids); // ['channel_id_1']
});
You can check if a channel exists with:
PushNotification.channelExists(channel_id, function (exists) {
console.log(exists); // true/false
});
You can check if a channel blocked with:
PushNotification.channelBlocked(channel_id, function (blocked) {
console.log(blocked); // true/false
});
You can delete a channel with:
PushNotification.deleteChannel(channel_id);
The id
parameter for PushNotification.localNotification
is required for this operation. The id supplied will then be used for the cancel operation.
PushNotification.localNotification({
...
id: '123'
...
});
PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications({id: '123'});
iOS: userInfo
is populated id
if not defined this allow the previous method
PushNotification.cancelAllLocalNotifications()
Cancels all scheduled notifications AND clears the notifications alerts that are in the notification centre.

(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
If you want a consistent results in Android & iOS with the most flexibility, it is best to handle it manually by prompting a local notification when onNotification
is triggered by a remote push notification on foreground (check notification.foreground
prop).
Watch out for an infinite loop triggering onNotification
- remote & local notification will trigger it. You can overcome this by marking local notifications' data.
(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
(optional) Specify repeatType
and optionally repeatTime
(Android-only) while scheduling the local notification. Check the local notification example above.
Property repeatType
can only be day
.
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)
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']
When you handle actions in background (invokeApp: false
), you can open the application and pass the initial notification by using use PushNotification.invokeApp(notification)
.
Make sure you have the receiver in AndroidManifest.xml
:
<receiver android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationActions" />
Notifications with inline reply:
You must register an action as "ReplyInput", this will show in the notifications an input to write in.
EXAMPLE:
PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule({
message: "My Notification Message", // (required)
date: new Date(Date.now() + (60 * 1000)), // in 60 secs
actions: ["ReplyInput"],
reply_placeholder_text: "Write your response...", // (required)
reply_button_text: "Reply" // (required)
});
To get the text from the notification:
...
if(notification.action === "ReplyInput"){
console.log("texto", notification.reply_text)// this will contain the inline reply text.
}
...
For iOS, you can use:
PushNotification.setNotificationCategories(categories);
And use the category
field in the notification.
Documentation here 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.
PushNotification.subscribeToTopic(topic: string)
Subscribe to a topic (works only with Firebase)
PushNotification.unsubscribeFromTopic(topic: string)
Unsubscribe from a topic (works only with Firebase)
Unlike iOS, Android apps handle the creation of their own notifications. React Native Push Notifications does a "best guess" to create and handle incoming notifications. However, when using 3rd party notification platforms and tools, the initial notification creation process may need to be customized.
If your notification service uses a custom data payload format, React Native Push Notifications will not be able to parse the data correctly to create an initial notification.
For these cases, you should:
- Remove the intent handler configuration for React Native Push Notifications from your
android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
. - Implement initial notification creation as per the instructions from your Provider.
Data payloads of notifications from 3rd party services may not match the format expected by React Native Push Notification. When tapped, these notifications will not pass the details and data to the onNotification()
event handler. Custom IntentHandlers
allow you to fix this so that correct notification
objects are sent to your onNotification()
method.
Custom handlers are added in Application init or MainActivity.onCreate()
methods:
RNPushNotification.IntentHandlers.add(new RNPushNotification.RNIntentHandler() {
@Override
public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
// If your provider requires some parsing on the intent before the data can be
// used, add that code here. Otherwise leave empty.
}
@Nullable
@Override
public Bundle getBundleFromIntent(Intent intent) {
// This should return the bundle data that will be serialized to the `notification.data`
// property sent to the `onNotification()` handler. Return `null` if there is no data
// or this is not an intent from your provider.
// Example:
if (intent.hasExtra("MY_NOTIFICATION_PROVIDER_DATA_KEY")) {
return intent.getBundleExtra("MY_NOTIFICATION_PROVIDER_DATA_KEY");
}
return null;
}
});
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
