Scheduled Notifications are not displaying.....

[sarveshhh-m]

Question

I have used this library react-native-push-notifications in my react-native-app.
whenever i schedule any notification, it does not appear(even though it is listed in the getScheduledLocalNotifications() ), PushNotification.localNotification() works fine but the PushNotification.scheduleLocalNotification() does not work even in simpler circumstances.

notifications.android.ts

import PushNotification from 'react-native-push-notification';

const handleScheduledNotification = (
  title: string,
  message: string,
//   date: Date,
) =>
  PushNotification.scheduleLocalNotification({
    channelId: "reminders",
    title: title,
    message: message,
    date: new Date(Date.now() + 5 * 1000),
    importance: 'high',
    vibration: 500,
    repeatTime: 60000,
    repeatType: "minute"
  });

const handleNotification = (title: string, message: string) => PushNotification.localNotification({
  channelId: "reminders",
  title: title,
  message: message
});

export { handleScheduledNotification, handleNotification };

It depends on the targetSdkVersion you have set in your build.gradle file inside the android directory. if targetSdkVersion < 33, then you do not need to read this comment further.

In android 14, there are few changes related SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission. Now permission of SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM is by default disabled by android. So setExact method of AlarmManager android API will throw an exception if user does not grant the permission explicitly.

So in your case, react-native-push-notification module is using "setExact" method internally and I think, that's why PushNotification.scheduleLocalNotification() is unable to work.
