Some examples of notifications produced using awesome notifications

Working progress percentages of awesome notifications plugin

Main Philosophy

Considering all the many different devices available, with different hardware and software resources, this plugin ALWAYS shows the notification, trying to use the maximum resources available. If the resource is not available, the notification ignores that specifc resource, but it shows anyway.

Example: If the device has LED colored lights, use it. Otherwise, ignore the lights, but shows the notification with all another resources available. In last case, shows at least the most basic notification.

Also, the Noification Channels follows the same rule. If there is no channel segregation of notifications, use the channel configuration as only defaults configuration. If the device has channels, use it as expected to be.

And all notifications sent while the app was killed are registered and delivered as soon as possible to the Application, after the plugin initialziation, respecting the delivery order.

This way, your Application will receive all notifications at Flutter level code.

A very simple example

1. Add awesome_notifications as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

    awesome_notifications: any
   

2. import the plugin package to your dart code

    import 'package:awesome_notifications/awesome_notifications.dart';
   

3. Initialize the plugin on main.dart, with at least one native icon and one channel

    AwesomeNotifications().initialize(
    	'resource://drawable/app_icon',
    	[
    		NotificationChannel(
    			channelKey: 'basic_channel',
    			channelName: 'Basic notifications',
    			channelDescription: 'Notification channel for basic tests',
    			defaultColor: Color(0xFF9D50DD),
    			ledColor: Colors.white
    		)
    	]
     );
   

4. On your main page, starts to listen the notification actions (to detect tap)

    AwesomeNotifications().actionNotificationStream.listen(
    	(receivedNotification){
   
    		Navigator.of(context).pushName(context,
    			'/NotificationPage',
    			arguments: { id: receivedNotification.id } // your page params. I recomend to you to pass all *receivedNotification* object
    		);
   
    	}
    );
   

5. In any place of your app, create a new notification

      AwesomeNotifications().createNotification(
    	  content: NotificationContent(
    		  id: 10,
    		  channelKey: 'basic_channel',
    		  title: 'Simple Notification',
    		  body: 'Simple body'
    	  )
      );
   

THATS IT! CONGRATZ!!!

Using Firebase Services (Optional)

To activate the Firebase Cloud Messaging service, please follow these steps:

Android

Go to the [[Firebase Console]][firebase_link] and create a new project.

After, go to Cloud Messaging and add an Android app, put the packge name of your project to generate the file google-services.json. Download the file and place it inside your android/app folder.

Add the classpath to the [project]/android/build.gradle file.

dependencies {
	classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'
	// Add the google services classpath
	classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
}

Add the apply plugin to the [project]/android/app/build.gradle file.

// ADD THIS AT THE BOTTOM
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

iOS

In construction... sorry for the inconveniency

Notification Life Cycle

Notifications are received by local code or FCM using native code, so the messages will appears immediately or at schedule time, independent of your application state.

Flutter Streams

The Flutter code will be called as soon as possible using [[Streams]][stream_dart].

createdNotificationStream: Fires when a notification is created displayedNotificationStream: Fires when a notification is displayed on system status bar actionNotificationStream: Fires when a notification is tapped by the user

	App in Foreground	App in Background	App Terminated (Killed)
Android	Fires all streams imeadtly after occours	Fires all streams imeadtly after occours	Fires created and displayed after the plugin initializes, but fires action imeadtly after occours
iOS	Fires all streams imeadtly after occours	Fires all streams imeadtly after occours	Fires created and displayed after the plugin initializes, but fires action imeadtly after occours
