flutter_local_notifications 15.0.0-dev.1

A cross platform plugin for displaying and scheduling local notifications for Flutter applications with the ability to customise for each platform.

[15.0.0-dev.1]

• Breaking change removed deprecated schedule, showDailyAtTime and showWeeklyAtDayAndTime methods. Notifications that were scheduled prior to this release should still work
• Breaking change removed Time class
• [Android] updated tags used when writing error logs. For corrupt scheduled notifications and error is logged the tag is now ScheduledNotifReceiver instead of ScheduledNotifReceiver. When logging that exact alarm permissions have been revoked the the tag is now FLTLocalNotifPlugin instead of notification
• Breaking change [iOS][macOS] added supported for banner and list presentation options for iOS and macOS that is applicable for iOS 14.0 or newer and macOS 11 or newer. This is a breaking change as the values default to true and the alert presentation option is no longer applicable on these OS versions as Apple has deprecated it to be replaced by the banner and list presentations. Please ensure that if you target these OS versions that you configure the options appropriately for your application.
• Updated API documentation related to the iOS/macOS notification presentation options to include links to Apple's documentations to show what they correspond to

[14.1.1]

• Fixed typo in API docs for the deprecated showDailyAtTime() method. Thanks to the PR from Yuichiro Kawano
• [Android] removed a call to standard output via System.out.println()

[14.1.0]

• [Android] added alarmClock as one of the AndroidScheduleMode options. This is useful for cases where a notification functions as an alarm and may show an alarm icon on the status bar depending on the device Thanks to the PR from Muhammed Ballan

[14.0.1]

• [Android] fixed issue 1991 where tapping on a notification action with showUserInterface set to true whilst app is terminated wouldn't dismiss/cancel notification
• [Android] updated logic when trying to show a scheduled notification so that receiver would remove a corrupt notification to avoid exceptions from occurring over and over again. An message will be written to error log when this occurs as well. Thanks to the PR from []
• Fixed example app on iOS and macOS so it would play the custom sound as this step was missed in previous released where the iOS and macOS side was recreated

[14.0.0+2]

• Bumped maximum Dart SDK constraint
• Recreated iOS and macOS side of the example app so they would build and run with Flutter 3.10 having landed on stable channel

[14.0.0+1]

• Updated cavaet on scheduling Android notifications where a link to https://dontkillmyapp.com has been added as it contains instructions on how to configure various devices to bypass the battery optimisations that prevent background processes from working e.g. scheduled notifications
• Added missing note to the 14.0.0 release notes on a breaking change the AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin APIs around scheduling notifications where the allowWhileIdle has been removed and replaced by a scheduleMode parameter that allows for scheduling inexact notifications
• Updated docs to explain that if a notification was scheduled on Android with exact timing via the AndroidScheduleMode enum but the exact alarm permissions had been revoked, an error log message will be written and notification will no longer be scheduled. This means recurring notifications would no longer be scheduled as well given the permission had been revoked

[14.0.0]

• Breaking change the id property of the ActiveNotification class is now nullable to help indicate that the notification may not have been created by the plugin e.g. it was from Firebase Cloud Messaging. Thanks to the PR from frankvollebregt
• Breaking change the following classes are now enums
  • AndroidNotificationCategory
  • AndroidServiceForegroundType
  • AndroidServiceStartType
  • AudioAttributesUsage
  • Day
  • InterruptionLevel
  • LinuxNotificationCategory
  • LinuxNotificationUrgency
  • Priority
• [Android] added support for scheduling inexact notifications. The corresponding APIs for scheduling notifications now have a new AndroidScheduleMode to allow for configuring this if required. The androidAllowWhileIdle argument is now deprecated when using the APIs available for scheduling notifications via the FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin APIs and will be removed in the future. Thanks to the PR from Joachim Böhmer. Note that if if a notification was scheduled with exact timing via the AndroidScheduleMode but the exact alarm permissions had been revoked, an error log message will be written and notification will no longer be scheduled. Do note that the androidScheduleMode parameter has a default value of AndroidScheduleMode.exact to align with what was the default value of androidAllowWhileIdle before (i.e. false) where that meant exact timing was to be used but the device being a low-powered idle may cause it to be delayed. When the androidAllowWhileIdle parameter is removed in the future, androidScheduleMode will become a required named parameter to ensure developers explicitly specify the value they want
  • [Android] Breaking change related to this is whilst androidAllowWhileIdle is deprecated via the FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin APIs, allowWhileIdle has been removed and completely replaced by a scheduleMode parameter when whe directly using the AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin APIs
• [Android] adds a namespace for compatibility with AGP (Android Gradle plugin) 8.0. Thanks to the PR from asaarnak
• [iOS][macOS] fixed issue 1950 where plugin would crash when calling zonedSchedule() with a date/time value that is exactly when daylight savings occurs and the APIs from Apple weren't able to resolve what the actual date/time is meant to be
• [Android] updated AndroidServiceForegroundType values to align with new additions that are part of Android 14. Thanks to the PR from Rexios
• [macOS] fixed issue 1858 where macOS app builds were showing deprecation warnings. Thanks to the PR from Steve Kohls
• Bumped mockito dev dependency
• Align Dart SDK constraint with minimum Flutter version (i.e. 3.0)
• Fixed readme that was reference old classes with IOS as part of the name instead of the newer classes that have the Darwin prefix
• Removed dead link that had archived official documentation around guidance on creating the appropriate Android icons that would help with creating notification icons. Now replaced with a link to using Image Asset Studio to create notification icons

[13.0.0]

• [Android] Bumped Android Gradle plugin to 7.3.1. Thanks to the PR from Rexios
• • Updated minimum Flutter version to 3.0.0. Note that technically this was already a requirement by flutter_local_notifications_linux 2.0.0 as ffi 2.0.0 requires Dart 2.17 at a minimum and that shipped with Flutter 3.0.0
• Added explicit ffi dependency that Linux implementation of the plugin was already using
• Updated site used by example app to display dummy/placeholder images
• Updated readme to warn developers that choose not to follow the official Android guidance around notification icons that using the @mipmap/ic_launcher resource requires additional release build configuration. Thanks to the PR from Daniel Arndt
• Updated readme to add note about how Flutter has an issue with apps running with desugaring on Android 12L and above. Thanks to the PR from Mirek Mazel See https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/110658. One potential fix added to the readme is for apps to add the WindowManager library as a dependency:

dependencies {
    implementation 'androidx.window:window:1.0.0'
    implementation 'androidx.window:window-java:1.0.0'
    ...
}

[12.0.4]

• Fixed issue 1796 where a java.lang.ClassCastException may be thrown on some Android devices when the onDidReceiveBackgroundNotificationResponse has been specified when calling initialize()

[12.0.3+1]

• Updated Kotlin version used in example app
• Updated code snippets in readme to add missing import statements around the iOS setup related to notification actions. Thanks to PR from som-R91

[12.0.3]

• [Android] removed reference to Android V1 embedding. Thanks to PR from Simon Ser
• Updated code snippet in readme around requesting notification permissions on Android. Thanks to PR from Leo

[12.0.2]

• [Android] changed callback lookup for notification actions to take place after Flutter engine to ensure callback cache has been initialised to find the callback. This is a follow-up to changes done in 12.0.1 in trying to address issue 1721
• [Android] updated plugin to clean up resources after it is detached from Flutter engine. Thanks to PR from Simon Ser

[12.0.1+1]

• Updated readme to indicate that the timezone package should be added as a direct dependency according to this official lint rule
• Bumped dependency constraints on flutter_local_notification_linux that was meant to be done in 12.0.0

[12.0.1]

• [Android][iOS] fixed issue 1721 where a crash occurs upon tapping on a notification action fbut the onDidReceiveBackgroundNotificationResponse optional callback hasn't been specified.
• [iOS] suppressed deprecation warnings where plugin was Apple's old notification APIs to support older iOS devices

[12.0.0]

• Bumped dbus dependency via flutter_local_notifications_linux

[11.0.1]

• [Android] fixed crash when using notification actions with a foreground service. Thanks to the PR from Arnold Laishram
• [Android] Suppressed deprecation warning on calling the getParcelableExtra Intent API
• Fixed typo in readme around Darwin (iOS/macOS) initialisation settings
• Added a link to an issue with using Flutter apps with desugaring enabled where crashes could occur on foldable Android devices. Link to this is https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/110658 so those experience the problem can follow the issue and try out the solutions there as this isn't specific to the plugin
• Replaced usage of rxDart in example app use StreamController instead to minimise use of dependencies and removed unused shared_preferences dependency

[11.0.0]

• Bumped timezone dependency. To err on the safe when it comes to dependency version conflicts, this is being published as major release as the updated timezone package was published as a major release. Thanks to the PR from Joachim Nohl

[10.0.0]

• Breaking change [Android] zonedSchedule()'s implementation has switched to using desugaring instead of the ThreeTen Android Backport library. This required the plugin to update to using Android Gradle plugin 4.2.2 and applications may need to bump their Android Gradle plugin dependency to at least 4.2.2 as a result. Added a "Gradle setup" section underneath "Android setup" with details on the extra setup needed
• [Android] Breaking change the following error codes included in PlatformExceptions that can occur on Android have been updated
  • INVALID_ICON -> invalid_icon
  • INVALID_LARGE_ICON -> invalid_large_icon
  • INVALID_BIG_PICTURE -> invalid_big_picture
  • INVALID_SOUND -> invalid_sound
  • INVALID_LED_DETAILS -> invalid_led_details
  • GET_ACTIVE_NOTIFICATIONS_ERROR_CODE -> unsupported_os_version
  • GET_NOTIFICATION_CHANNELS_ERROR_CODE -> getNotificationChannelsError
  • GET_ACTIVE_NOTIFICATION_MESSAGING_STYLE_ERROR_CODE -> getActiveNotificationMessagingStyle
  • PERMISSION_REQUEST_IN_PROGRESS -> permissionRequestInProgress
• [Android] Breaking change the category of the AndroidNotificationDetails now requires an instance of the newly added AndroidNotificationCategory class instead of a string. This was to improve the discoverability of the APIs and improve the semantics as the category can specified in a similar fashion to using an enum value
• Breaking change callbacks have now been reworked. There are now the following callbacks and both will pass an instance of the NotificationResponse class
  • onDidReceiveNotificationResponse: invoked only when the app is running. This works for when a user has selected a notification or notification action. This replaces the onSelectNotification callback that existed before. For notification actions, the action needs to be configured to indicate the the app or user interface should be shown on invoking the action for this callback to be invoked i.e. by specifying the DarwinNotificationActionOption.foreground option on iOS and the showsUserInterface property on Android. On macOS and Linux, as there's no support for background isolates it will always invoke this callback
  • onDidReceiveBackgroundNotificationResponse: invoked on a background isolate for when a user has selected a notification action. This replaces the onSelectNotificationAction callback
• Breaking change the NotificationAppLaunchDetails has been updated to contain an instance NotificationResponse class with the payload belonging to the NotificationResponse class. This is to allow knowing more details about what caused the app to launch e.g. if a notification action was used to do so
• [iOS][macOS] Breaking changes iOS and macOS classes have been renamed and refactored as they are based on the same operating system and share the same notification APIs. Rather than having a prefix of either IOS or MacOS, these are now replaced by classes with a Darwin prefix. For example, IOSInitializationSettings can be replaced with DarwinInitializationSettings
• [macOS] Breaking change the requestPermissions() method of the MacOSFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class now only accepts non-nullable parameters that default to false. This makes it consistent with the iOS implementation of the plugin
• Added support for notification actions. Massive thanks to Sebastian Roth, Pieter van Loon and Yaroslav Pronin for their work on this. Note that on Apple's platforms, notification actions are only supported on iOS 10 or newer and macOS 10.14 or newer
• [Linux] Breaking change the linux notification categories defined by LinuxNotificationCategory no longer has factory constructors but has static constant fields instead to make the semantics more similar to access enum values
• [Android] Updated how scheduled notifications are saved to shared preferences so it is done in the background. This is to fix issue 1378 where pendingNotificationRequests method may not report the correct number of scheduled notifications if it is invoked before the data had been saved to shared preferences
• [Android] fixed issue 1702 by handling deprecation warnings using specific Android Intent APIs on Android 13 (API level 33) or newer
• [iOS] getActiveNotifications() is now supported for iOS versions 10.0 or newer
• [macOS] getActiveNotifications() is now supported for macOS versions 10.14 or newer
• [iOS][macOS] thanks to the PR from maprohu, the following features are now available
  • the ability to request permissions to show critical notifications
  • the ability to specify the interruption level of a notification. This is only applicable to iOS 15.0 and macOS 12.0 or newer.
• Updated minimum Flutter version to 2.8 as that aligns with the minimum Dart SDK version of 2.1.5 required by one of flutter_local_notifications_linux's dependencies (dbus)
• Example app has been updated so that each notification has its own notification ID. Previously, they were all given a notification ID of 0
• Updated Android setup docs to mention setting up compileSdkVersion

[9.9.1]

• [Android] plugin has been updated to minimise clashing with other plugins that handle permission requests. Thanks to the PR from Tiernan

[9.9.0]

• [Android] added the ability to specify audio attributes of a notification channel via the audioAttributesUsage property belonging to the AndroidNotificationChannel and AndroidNotificationDetails classes. Thanks to the PR from Jonas Bornold

[9.8.0+1]

• Added more details to 9.8.0 changelog entry to mention that apps will need to change compileSdkVersion to 33 and also updated readme to mention this

[9.8.0]

• [Android] added requestPermission method to the AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class. This make use of the new feature added to Android 13 where an app can request permissions to show notifications. As the plugin's APIs don't have breaking changes, this is released a minor release. It does however, require the Android 13 SDK to be install installed and for apps to change the compileSdkVersion in their app's build.gradle to 33 as the plugin's compileSdkVersion is now 33. Only apps targeting Android 13 can request the permission as well. The latter can be done by updating the targetSdkVersion in an app's build.gradle file to 33. Thanks to the PR from Bartek Pacia. Note: the ability to request the permission as part of calling initialize will be added later on

[9.7.1]

• [Android] updated how launch intent is read on Android for the getNotificationAppLaunchDetails method

[9.7.0]

• [Android] added support to specify notification count via the number property that has been added to the AndroidNotificationDetails class. Thanks to the PR from Katsuya Kato
• Updated readme so that link to icon design guidance points to the archived version as the original link is now returning 404 not found. Thanks to the PR from Zaldy Pagaduan Jr.

[9.6.1]

• [macOS] fixed issue 1623 where calling zonedSchedule with matchDateTimeComponents set to dayOfMonthAndTime or dateAndTime led to an error

[9.6.0]

• [Linux] Bumped dependency on flutter_local_notifications_linux to ^0.5.0+1 where support for icons to be specified via a file path was added by Yaroslav Pronin

[9.5.3+1]

• Updated example app with to use updated Proguard rules for GSON
• Update readme about GSON's Proguard rules to recommend referring to the rules on GSON's repository
• Move note in readme about how onSelectNotification won't be called when an app is launched by a notification so it's more visible

[9.5.3]

• [Android] bumped gson dependency to 2.8.9 that fixes CVE-2022-25647

[9.5.2]

• [macOS] fixed issue 1585 where plugin causes a crash when a remote/push notification (e.g. via FCM) occurs

[9.5.1]

• [Android] fixed issue when calling getActiveNotificationMessagingStyle() to get messaging style information for a notification with a tag. Thanks to PR from Simon Ser

[9.5.0]

• [Android] added getActiveNotificationMessagingStyle() method to the AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class. This allows for getting the messaging style information of an active notification e.g. to append a message to an existing notification. Thanks to the PR from Simon Ser
• Updated readme to fix an issue where clicking on the Android setup and iOS setup sections from table of contents wouldn't go the appropriate section. Thanks to the PR from HendrikF

[9.4.1]

• Calling initialize() on a platform with passing the appropriate initialisation settings for it will now throw an ArgumentError. Whilst this may be technically a breaking change, it's been done as a minor change as the call was already throwing an unhandled exception in these scenarios. This change is to help provide more information on why it fails. Documentation has also been updated to provide more on information on this as the intialisation settings for each platform are nullable so developers aren't forced to provide settings for platforms they don't target. Thanks to the PR from Zlati Pehlivanov
• Updated docs to fix typos, adjust heading levels and use the term "daylight saving time" instead of "daylight savings". Thanks to the PR from Ross Llewallyn

[9.4.0]

• [Android] Added tag to ActiveNotification that would allow for finding the notification's tag. Thanks to the PR from Simon Ser

[9.3.3]

• [macOS] Fixed issue 1507 where calling the requestPermissions() method of the MacOSFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class led to a crash. This will be coalesced to assume that the boolean parameters around the requested permissions default to false to be consistent with the iOS implementation. Note that in 10.0.0 the method will have a breaking change so that these parameters are non-nullable

[9.3.2]

• Fix issue 1485 where the addition of colorized property caused backwards compatibility issues with previously scheduled notifications as this would be null when deserialised from shared preferences

[9.3.1]

• Fix issue 1479 that could cause compilation issue on the web by removing dart:ffi import

[9.3.0]

• [Android] Updated how scheduled notifications are saved to shared preferences so it is done in the background. This is to fix issue 1378 where pendingNotificationRequests method may not report the correct number of scheduled notifications if it is invoked before the data had been saved to shared preferences
• [Android] Added colorized property to AndroidNotificationDetails class. This can be used to apply a background colour to the notification but for most styles, this only works if a foreground service was used. Example app has been updated to demonstrate its usage. Thanks to the PR from benechiu

[9.2.0]

• [Android] Added areNotificationsEnabled() method to AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin. This allows querying if notifications are enabled for the app calling the method. Thanks to the PR from Konstantin Pelz
• [Linux] Fix initialize() returning null all the time instead of returning an appropriate boolean value to indicate if plugin has been initialised

[9.1.5]

• Bumped flutter_local_notifications_linux dependency

[9.1.4]

• [Android] Reverted change in 9.1.0 that added the groupKey to ActiveNotification as this was a potentially breaking change. This will instead be part of a major release

[9.1.3]

• [Android] Reverts Android changes done in 9.1.2 and 9.1.1 due to reported stability issues. Ths means issue 1378 may still occur though is a rare occurrence and may require a different solution and assistance from the community with regards to testing

[9.1.2+1]

• BAD [Android] some minor code clean up from 9.1.2 changes
• Fixed a grammar issue in readme. Thanks to the PR from Clément Besnier

[9.1.2]

• [Android] Fix NPE issue 1378 from change introduced in 9.1.1 in updating how notifications were written to shared preferences

[9.1.1]

• BAD [Android] updated APIs the plugin uses to write to shared preferences in the background
• [Android] fix where there was a the Future for scheduling a notification could be completed prior to saving information on the scheduled notification to shared preferences. In this case the notification would still be scheduled but if the plugin was used to query the pending notifications quick enough, the plugin may have returned the incorrect number of pending notifications

[9.1.0]

• BAD [Android] Added groupKey to ActiveNotification that would allow for finding the notification's group. Thanks to the PR from Roman
• [Android] Migrate maven repository from jcenter to mavenCentral. Thanks to the PR from tigertore

[9.0.3]

• [Android] Fixed issue 1362 so that the plugin refer to Android sound resources by the resource name instead of the resource id as the resource id could change over time e.g. if new resources are added. Note that this is a fix that can't be applied retroactively

[9.0.2]

• [Android] Fixed issue 1357 where some details of a notification with formatted content weren't being returned
• Bumped dependencies used by example app
• Fixed grammar issue in readme in the Scheduled Android notifications section. Thanks to Yousef Akiba for the PR
• Updated example app and readme code around importing the timezone dependency so it uses the all variant of the IANA database that contains all timezones including those that are deprecated or may link to other timezones

[9.0.1]

• Fixed issue 1346 where an exception is thrown when onSelectNotification callback isn't specified

[9.0.0]

• Breaking change the SelectNotificationCallback and DidReceiveLocalNotificationCallback typedefs now map to functions that returns void instead of a Future<dynamic>. This change was done to better communicate the plugin doesn't actually await any asynchronous computation and is similar to how button pressed callbacks work for Flutter where they are typically use VoidCallback
• Updated example app to show how to display notification where a byte array is used to specify the icon on Linux
• Breaking change the value property of the Importance class is now non-nullable
• Breaking change the FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin.private() constructor that was visible for testing purposes has been removed. The plugin now uses the defaultTargetPlatform property from the Flutter framework to determine the platform an application running on. This removes the need for depending on the platform package. To write tests that require a platform-specific implementation of the plugin, the debugDefaultTargetPlatformOverride property can be used to do so
• Breaking change fixed issue 1306 where an Android notification channel description should have been optional. This means the description property of the AndroidNotificationChannel class and the channelDescription property of the AndroidNotificationDetails class are now named parameters
• Breaking change the AndroidIcon class is now a generic class i.e. AndroidIcon<T> and it's icon property has been renamed to data. With this change, the type of the icon property that belongs to the Person class has changed from AndroidIcon? to AndroidIcon<Object>?
• [Android] Added the ByteArrayAndroidIcon class that implements the AndroidIcon<T> class. This allows using a byte array to use as the icon for a person in a message style notification. A ByteArrayAndroidIcon.fromBase64String() named constructor is also available that will enable this using a base-64 encoded string. Thanks to the PR from Alexander Petermann
• [Android] Android 12 support
• Restored Linux support
• Fixed grammatical errors in readme. Thanks to PR from Aneesh Rao
• Plugin now uses the clock package for internal logic that relies on geting the current time, such as validating that the date for a scheduled notification is set in the future

[8.2.0]

• Added dayOfMonthAndTime and dateAndTime values to the DateTimeComponents enum. These allow for creating monthly and yearly notifications respectively. Thanks to the PR from Denis Shakinov

[8.1.1+2]

• Bumped timezone dependency. Thanks to the PR from Xavier H.

[8.1.1+1]

• Updated API docs for the initialize() to mention that the getNotificationAppLaunchDetails() method should be used to handle when a notification launches an application

[8.1.1]

• [Android] fixed issue 1263 around an unchecked/unsafe operation warning
• [Android] fixed issue 1246 where calling createNotificationChannel() wasn't update a notification channel's name/description

[8.1.0]

• [Android] added the startForegroundService() and stopForegroundService() methods to the AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class. This can be used to start and stop a foreground service that shows a foreground service respectively. Refer to the API docs for more details on how to use this. The example app has been updated to demonstrate their usage. Thanks to the PR from EPNW

[8.0.0]

• Breaking change the AndroidBitmap class is now a generic class i.e. AndroidBitmap<T>. This has resulted in the following changes
• the type of the largeIcon property that belongs to the AndroidNotificationDetails class has changed from AndroidBitmap to AndroidBitmap<Object>
• the type of the largeIcon and bigPicture properties that belongs to the BigPictureStyleInformation class has changed from AndroidBitmap to AndroidBitmap<Object>
• [Android] Added the ByteArrayAndroidBitmap class that implements the AndroidBitmap<T> class. This allows using a byte array to use as the large icon for a notification or as big picture if the big picture style has been applied. A ByteArrayAndroidBitmap.fromBase64String() named constructor is also available that will enable this using a base-64 encoded string. Thanks to the PR from Alexander Petermann

[7.0.0]

• Breaking change Removed support for Linux. This is because adding Linux made use of a plugin that was causing apps targeting the web to fail to build
• Note: as this is more an urgent release to resolve the aforementioned issue that results in a breaking change, please note this release does not include the Android 12 support changes that were in the prereleases. This is to err on the side of caution as Android 12 hasn't reached platform stability yet

[6.1.1]

• Breaking change Removed support for Linux. This is because adding Linux made use of a plugin that was causing apps targeting the web to fail to build. This is identical to the 7.0.0 release but also done as a minor increment as 6.1.1 to fix build issues as developers would most likely use caret versioning

[6.1.0]

• Added initial support to Linux. Thanks to the PR from Yaroslav Pronin
• Prevent crashing on the web by adding guard clauses within the plugin to check if the plugin is being used within a web app due to an issue with getting the operating system via the platform package, which in turn relies on dart:io's Platform APIs

[6.0.0]

• Updated Flutter SDK constraint. To err on the safe side, this is why there's a major version bump for this release as the minimum version supported is 2.2
• Updated Dart SDK constraint
• Bumped mockito dependency
• Addressed deprecation warnings that were appearing for Android builds
• Updated API docs around the tag property associated with the AndroidNotificationDetails class

[5.0.0+4]

• Fixed example app to re-add attributes to the Android app's AndroidManifest.xml to allow full-screen intent notifications to work

[5.0.0+3]

• Updated readme on how to get the local timezone
• Added link to location of example app to the readme

[5.0.0+2]

• Updated example app to use the flutter_native_timezone plugin to get the timezone
• Updated readme to mention effect of using same notification id
• Fixed wording and typo in full-screen intent notifications section of the readme. Thanks to PR from Siddhartha Joshi

[5.0.0+1]

• Add link to explanation of the onDidReceiveLocalNotification callback to the initialisation section of the readme
• Updated testing section to clarify behaviour on platforms that aren't supported
• Updated timezone dependency

[5.0.0]

• Breaking change migrated to null safety. Some arguments that were formerly null (e.g. some boolean values) are now non-nullable with a default value that should retain the old behaviour

[4.0.1+2]

• [iOS/macOS] fixed issue where not requesting any permissions (i.e. all the boolean flags were set to false) would still cause a permissions prompt to appear. Thanks to the PR from Andrey Parvatkin

[4.0.1+1]

• Fixed typo in readme around the note relating to version 4.0 of the plugin where onSelectNotification will not be triggered when an app is launched by tapping on a notification.

[4.0.1]

• [Android] added the getNotificationChannels method to the AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class. This can be used to a get list of all the notification channels on devices with Android 8.0 or newer. Thanks to the PR from Shapovalova Vera

[4.0.0]

• Breaking change calling initialize will no longer trigger the onSelectNotification if a notification was tapped on prior to calling initialize. This was done as the getNotificationAppLaunchDetails method already provided a way to handle when an application was launched by a notification. Furthermore, calling initialize multiple times (e.g. on different pages) would have previously caused the onSelectNotification callback multiples times as well. This potentially results in the same notification being processed again
• Breaking change the matchDateComponents parameter has been renamed to matchDateTimeComponents
• Dates in the past can now be used with zonedSchedule when a value for the matchDateTimeComponents parameter has been specified to create recurring notifications. Thanks to the PR from Erlend for implementing this and the previous change
• [Android] notification data is now saved to shared preferences in a background thread to minimise jank. Thanks to the PR from davidlepilote
• [Android] the tag property has been added to the AndroidNotificationDetails class. This allows notifications on Android to be uniquely identifier through the use of the value of the tag and the id passed to the method for show/schedule the notification
• [Android] the optional tag argument has been added to the cancel method for the FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin and AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin classes. This can be used to cancel notifications where the tag has been specified
• [iOS][macOS] the threadIdentifier property has been added to the IOSNotificationDetails and MacOSNotificationDetails classes. This can be used to group notifications on iOS 10.0 or newer, and macOS 10.14 or newer. Thanks to the PR from Marcin Chudy for adding this and the tag property for Android notifications
• The Android and iOS example applications have been recreated in Kotlin and Swift respectively
• Updated example application's dev dependency on the deprecated e2e for integration tests to use integration_test instead
• Bumped Flutter dependencies
• Example app cleanup including updating Proguard rules as specifying the rules for Flutter were no longer needed

[3.0.3]

• [Android] added support for showing subtext in the notification. Thanks to the PR from sidlatau

[3.0.2]

• [Android] added support for showing the notification timestamp as a stopwatch instead via the usesChronometer argument added to the constructor of the AndroidNotificationDetails class. Thanks to the PR from andymstone
• Updated readme to add more clarity on the compatibility with firebase_messaging plugin and iOS setup sections
• Updated changelog entry for the 2.0.0 release around support for full-screen intents to clarify that the fullScreenIntent was added to the constructor of the AndroidNotificationDetails class.

[3.0.1+7]

• [Android] fixed issue 935 where scheduling a notification on Android devices running Android versions older than 4.4 (API 19) could cause a crash from using an API that isn't available

[3.0.1+6]

• [Android] change how the intent that associated with the notification is determined so that the plugin. This is to allow the plugin to work with applications that use activity aliases as per issue 92. Thanks the PR from crazecoder
• Fixed issue 924, where example app will now use https URLs for downloading placeholder images. These images were used when displaying some of the notifications. Thanks to the PR from Fareez

[3.0.1+5]

• Fixed links in table of contents in the readme. Thanks to the PR from Dihak
• Added a note in the readme to indicate changes were done in version 3.0.1+4 to reduce the setup to ensure readers have updated their application to use the latest version of the plugin
• Added a note around setting the application badge with a link to a plugin that supports this functionality

[3.0.1+4]

• [Android] made changes so that the plugin will now register the receivers and permissions needed. This reduces the amount of setup needed as developers will no longer need to update their AndroidManifest.xml to do so. The section of the readme on the Android setup for scheduled notifications has been removed as a result
• [Android] fixed an issue where notifications may not appear after rebooting
• [Android] made changes so that the plugin itself specifies which classes should be kept when minified. This means developers should no longer need to add a rule for this plugin in their application's Proguard rules file. Note that rules for GSON will still be needed. The release build configuration section related to the Android setup has been updated to reflect this change
• Bump dependency on flutter_local_notifications_platform_interface
• Updated API docs

[3.0.1+3]

• [Android] Fixed issue 898 around duplicate pending notifications
• Updated example app to more clearly indicate which button will demonstrate an Android notification with a different coloured icon and LED

[3.0.1+2]

• [Android] additional fix for issue 871 by switching the implementation of deleteNotificationChannel to use the NotificationManager APIs instead of the NotificationManagerCompat APIs

[3.0.1+1]

• Updated API docs for the UriAndroidNotificationSound class to further clarify that developers may need to write code that makes use of platform channels
• [Android] fix issue 881 where recurring notifications may fail to schedule the next occurrence on older Android versions as the ThreeTen Android Backport library hadn't been initialised yet
• [Android] switched implementation of createNotificationChannelGroup and deleteNotificationChannelGroup methods to use the NotificationManager APIs instead of the NotificationManagerCompat APIs. If you had issues with 3.0.1 then this should fix the issue (e.g. as reported in issue 871) as the the APIs that were previously being called would've required apps to use more recent versions of the AndroidX libraries

[3.0.1]

• [Android] Added the createNotificationChannelGroup and deleteNotificationChannelGroup methods to the AndroidFluttterLocalNotificationsPlugin class that can be used to create and delete notification channel groups. The optional groupId parameter has been added to the AndroidNotificationChannel class that can be used to associated notification channels to a particular group. Example app has been updated to include code snippets for this.

[3.0.0+1]

• [iOS] Fixed issue 865 where notifications with no title weren't behaving properly
• Updated API docs and readme around handling when full-screen intent notifications occur
• Updated API docs around notification channel management

[3.0.0]

• Breaking change The scheduledNotificationRepeatFrequency parameter of the zonedSchedule method has been removed. This has been replaced by matchDateTimeComponents parameter that can be used to schedule a recurring notification. This was done to better indicate that this is used to schedule recurring daily of weekly notifications based on the specified date components. This is more inline with how the calendar trigger works for notifications for iOS and macOS. Given a date (e.g. Monday 2020-10-19 10:00 AM), specifying to match on the time component of would result in a notification occurring daily at the same time (10:00 AM). Specifying to match on the day of the week and time allows for a weekly notification to occur (Monday 10:00 AM), The deprecation warnings for the showDailyAtTime() and showWeeklyAtDayAndTime() methods have been updated to give a brief description along the same lines.

[2.0.2]

• [iOS][macOS] fixed issue 860 where notifications may fail to be scheduled to an error parsing the specified date that could occur for some users depending on their locale and if they had turned off the setting for showing 24 hour time on their device. Thanks to the PR from Eugene Alitz

[2.0.1+1]

• Updated example application to demonstrate how to use the schedule notifications to occur on particular weekday using zonedSchedule method
• Added a note on migrating away from the deprecated methods for scheduling daily/weekly notifications

[2.0.1]

• [Android] updated plugin and steps in the readme to ensure notifications remain scheduled after a HTC device restarts. Thanks to the PR from Le Liam

[2.0.0+1]

• Fixed code snippet in readme around initialisation and configuring the onDidReceiveLocalNotification callback specific to iOS. Thanks to the PR from Mike Truso

[2.0.0]

• Added macOS implementation of the plugin
• The schedule, showDailyAtTime and showWeeklyAtDayAndTime methods has been marked as a deprecated due to problems with time zones, particularly when it comes to daylight savings.
• Added the zonedSchedule method to the plugin that allows for scheduling notifications to occur on a specific date and time relative a specific time zone. This can be used to schedule daily and weekly notifications as well. The example app has been updated to demonstrate its usage. Applications will need to retrieve the device's local IANA timezone ID via native code or a plugin (e.g. flutter_native_timezone). Note that to support time zone-based scheduling, the plugin now depends on the timezone package so that an instance of the TZDateTime class is required to the specify the time the notification should occur. This should work in most cases as it is IANA-based and native platforms have time zones that are IANA-based as well. To support time zone aware dates on older versions of Android (which use older Java APIs), the plugin depends on the ThreeTen Android Backport library. Once Flutter's support for Android Studio 4.0 and Android Gradle plugin 4.0 has stabilised, the plugin will be updated to make use of desugaring instead of relying on the ThreeTen Android Backport library.
• [Android] Fixed issue [670] where getNotificationAppLaunchDetails() behaved inconsistently depending on if it was called before or after initialize()
• [Android] Added the getActiveNotifications() method to the AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class thanks to the PR from Vincent Kammerer. This can be used to query the active notifications and is only applicable to Android 6.0 or newer
• [Android] Fixed an issue where the error message for an invalid source resource wasn't formatted correctly to include the name of the specified resource
• [Android] Added androidAllowWhileIdle boolean argument to the periodicallyShow method. When set to true, this changes how recurring notifications are shown so that the Android AlarmManager API is used to schedule a notification with exact timing. When the notification appears, the next one is scheduled after that. This is get around the limitations where the AlarmManager APIs don't provide a way for work to be repeated with precising timing regardless of the power mode. The example app has been updated to include these changes so that it can be used as a reference as well
• [Android] Added support for full-screen notifications via the fullScreenIntent argument that has been added to the constructor of the AndroidNotificationDetails class. Thanks to the PR from Nadav Fima
• [Android] Bumped compile SDK to 30 (Android 11)
• [Android] Added ability to specify shortcut id that can be used for conversations. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/conversations for more info. Note the plugin doesn't provide the ability to publish shortcuts so developers will likely need to look into writing their own code to do so and save the shortcut id so that it can be linked to notifications
• [iOS] Updated the details in the plugin's podspec file
• [iOS] Added ability to specify a subtitle for a notification via the subtitle property of the IOSNotificationDetails class. This property is only application to iOS versions 10 or newer
• Breaking change The InitializationSettings and NotificationDetails classes no longer have positional parameters but now have named parameters called android and iOS for passing in data specific to Android and iOS. There macOS named parameter has also been added for passing data specific to macOS
• Breaking change The toMap method that was used internally to transfer data over platform channels is no longer publicly accessible
• Breaking change All enum values have been renamed to follow lower camel case convention. This affects the following enums
  • Day
  • AndroidNotificationChannelAction
  • Importance (note: as default is a keyword, what use to be Default is now defaultImportance)
  • Priority (note: as default is a keyword, what use to be Default is now defaultPriority)
  • GroupAlertBehavior
  • NotificationVisibility
  • RepeatInterval
• Breaking change assertions have been added to the IOSInitializationSettings constructor to prevent null values being passed in
• Updated example app so that code for demonstrating functionality that is specific to a platform are only visible when running on the appropriate platform
• Bumped Android dependencies
• Updated example app's Proguard rules file to match latest configuration required by GSON
• Bumped lower bound of Dart SDK dependency to 2.6
• Updated and fixed wording in API docs
• Readme now has a table of contents. Thanks to the PR from Ascênio

[1.4.4+4]

• [Android] Fix issue 759 by guarding code on getting the intent from the activity in case there isn't an activity that could cause initialize() and getNotificationAppLaunchDetails() to fail when called from the background

[1.4.4+3]

• [Android] Fix issue 751 where the onSelectNotification callback could be called again after the user has tapped on a notification, sent the application to the background and returned to the app via the Recents screen. This issue could have previously called getNotificationAppLaunchDetails() to mistakenly report that a notification launched the app when it's called again as part of the application being resumed

[1.4.4+2]

• [Android] Updated readme and plugin to fix issue 689 where plugin needs to ensure notifications stay scheduled after an application update
• Removed e2e dependency

[1.4.4+1]

• Added details that platform-specific implementations can be obtained to the Caveats and limitations section
• Added a note on restrictions imposed by the OS by Android OEMs that may be prevent scheduled notifications appearing
• Release configurations section of the readme renamed to Release build configuration

[1.4.4]

• [iOS] Fixes to ensure that the native completion handlers were called appropriately. If you had some issues using this plugin combined with push notifications (e.g. via firebase_messaging) when the app was in the foreground then I would recommend updating to this version. Thanks to Paweł Szot for picking up the gap in the code in handling the native willPresentNotification call
• The readme has been been touched up and had some sections rearranged. Thanks to the PR from psyanite
• Bumped lower bound of Dart SDK dependency to 2.0

[1.4.3]

[1.4.2]

• [Android] added the ability to specify the timestamp shown in the notification (issue 596). Thanks to the PR from Nicolas Schneider.
• Fixed API docs for showWeeklyAtDayAndTime

[1.4.1]

• [Android] added the ability to create notification channels before a notification is shown. This can be done by calling the createNotificationChannel within the AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class. This allows applications to create notification channels before a notification is shown. Thanks to the PR from Vladimir Gerashchenko.
• [Android] added the ability to delete notification channels. This can be done by calling deleteNotificationChannel within AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class.

[1.4.0]

Please note that there are a number of breaking changes in this release to improve the developer experience when using the plugin APIs. The changes should hopefully be straightforward but please through the changelog carefully just in case. The steps migrate your code has been covered below but the Git history of the example application's main.dart file can also be used as reference.

• [Android] Breaking change The style property of the AndroidNotificationDetails class has been removed as it was redundant. No changes are needed unless your application was displaying media notifications (i.e. style was set to AndroidNotificationStyle.Media). If this is the case, you can migrate your code by setting the styleInformation property of the AndroidNotificationDetails to an instance of the MediaNotificationStyleInformation class. This class is a new addition in this release

• [Android] Breaking change The AndroidNotificationSound abstract class has been introduced to represent Android notification sounds. The sound property of the AndroidNotificationDetails class has changed from being a String type to an AndroidNotificationSound type. In this release, the AndroidNotificationSound has the following subclasses

  • RawResourceAndroidNotificationSound: use this when the sound is raw resource associated with the Android application. Previously, this was the only type of sound supported so applications using the plugin prior to 1.4.0 can migrate their application by using this class. For example, if your previous code was

    var androidPlatformChannelSpecifics = AndroidNotificationDetails(
      'your other channel id',
      'your other channel name',
      'your other channel description',
      sound: 'slow_spring_board');
    

    Replace it with

    var androidPlatformChannelSpecifics = AndroidNotificationDetails(
      'your other channel id',
      'your other channel name',
      'your other channel description',
      sound: RawResourceAndroidNotificationSound('slow_spring_board');
    

  • UriAndroidNotificationSound: use this when a URI refers to the sound on the Android device. This is a new feature being supported as part of this release. Developers may need to write their code to access native Android APIs (e.g. the RingtoneManager APIs) to obtain the URIs they need.

• [Android] Breaking change The BitmapSource enum has been replaced by the newly AndroidBitmap abstract class and its subclasses. This removes the need to specify the name/path of the bitmap and the source of the bitmap as two separate properties (e.g. the largeIcon and largeIconBitmapSource properties of the AndroidNotificationDetails class). This change affects the following classes

  • AndroidNotificationDetails: the largeIcon is now an AndroidBitmap type instead of a String and the largeIconBitmapSource property has been removed
  • BigPictureStyleInformation: the largeIcon is now an AndroidBitmap type instead of a String and the largeIconBitmapSource property has been removed. The bigPicture is now a AndroidBitmap type instead of a String and the bigPictureBitmapSource property has been removed

  The following describes how each BitmapSource value maps to the AndroidBitmap subclasses

  • BitmapSource.Drawable -> DrawableResourceAndroidBitmap
  • BitmapSource.FilePath -> FilePathAndroidBitmap

  Each of these subclasses has a constructor that an argument referring to the bitmap itself. For example, if you previously had the following code

  var androidPlatformChannelSpecifics = AndroidNotificationDetails(
    'your other channel id',
    'your other channel name',
    'your other channel description',
    largeIcon: 'sample_large_icon',
    largeIconBitmapSource: BitmapSource.Drawable,
  )
  

  This would now be replaced with

  var androidPlatformChannelSpecifics = AndroidNotificationDetails(
    'your other channel id',
    'your other channel name',
    'your other channel description',
    largeIcon: DrawableResourceAndroidBitmap('sample_large_icon'),
  )
  

• [Android] Breaking change The IconSource enum has been replaced by the newly added AndroidIcon abstract class and its subclasses. This change was done for similar reasons in replacing the BitmapSource enum. This only affects the Person class, which is used when displaying each person in a messaging-style notification. Here the icon property is now an AndroidIcon type instead of a String and the iconSource property has been removed.

  The following describes how each IconSource value maps to the AndroidIcon subclasses

  • IconSource.Drawable -> DrawableResourceAndroidIcon
  • IconSource.FilePath -> BitmapFilePathAndroidIcon
  • IconSource.ContentUri -> ContentUriAndroidIcon

  Each of these subclasses has a constructor that accepts an argument referring to the icon itself. For example, if you previously had the following code

  Person(
    icon: 'me',
    iconSource: IconSource.Drawable,
  )
  

  This would now be replaced with

  Person(
    icon: DrawableResourceAndroidIcon('me'),
  )
  

  The AndroidIcon also has a BitmapAssetAndroidIcon subclass to enables the usage of bitmap icons that have been registered as a Flutter asset via the pubspec.yaml file.

• [Android] Breaking change All properties in the AndroidNotificationDetails, DefaultStyleInformation and InboxStyleInformation classes have been made final

• The DefaultStyleInformation class now implements the StyleInformation class instead of extending it

• [iOS] Added ability to associate notifications with attachments. Only applicable to iOS 10+ where the UserNotification APIs are used. Thanks to the PR from Pavel Sipaylo
• Updated readme on using firebase_messaging together with flutter_local_notifications to let the community that firebase_messaging 6.0.13 can be used to resolve compatibility issues around callbacks when both plugins are used together

[1.2.2]

• [Android] Added ability to specify if the timestamp for when a notification occurred should be displayed. Thanks to the PR from mojtabaghiasi

[1.2.1]

• [Android] Fixed issue 512 where calling getNotificationAppLaunchDetails() within the onSelectNotification callback could indicating that the app was launched by tapping on a notification when it wasn't the case
• Update example app to indicate if a notification launched the app and include the launch notification payload

• Make the static values propeerty of the Priority class return List<Priority> instead of being dynamic and added API docs for the property.

[1.2.0+1]

• The static values properties for the Day and Importance classes now return List<Day> and List<Importance> respectively instead of being dynamic
• Added more public API documentation
• Updated readme to move issues and contributions section to the readme within the repository
• Added screenshots to readme
• Updated how breaking changes are highlighted in changelog to all the letters aren't capitalised

[1.2.0]

• Added the resolvePlatformSpecificImplementation() method to the FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class. This can be used to resolve the underlying platform implementation in order to access platform-specific APIs.
• Breaking change the static instance properties in the IOSFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin and AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin classes have been removed due to addition of the resolvePlatformSpecificImplementation()
• Updated readme to remove use of new keyword in code snippets
• Bumped e2e dependency
• Bumped example app dependencies
• Make the pedantic dev_dependency explicit

[1.1.7+1]

• Minor update to readme on description around requesting notification permissions
• Add link to forked firebase_messaging plugin to readme for those that want to use it whilst the PR to fix the compatibility issues with this plugin is waiting to be reviewed

[1.1.7]

• [iOS] Added requestPermissions() method to IOSFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class. This can be used to request notification permissions separately from plugin initialisation. To facilitate this the IOSFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin and AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin now expose a static instance property that can be used obtain the platform-specific implementation of the plugin so that platform-specific methods can be used. Thanks to the PR from Dariusz Łuksza
• Updated documentation to clarify that getNotificationAppLaunchDetails() is intended to be used more on if a notification from this plugin triggered launch an application
• Updated API docs for consistency and to better follow the guidelines on effective Dart documentation

[1.1.6]

• Fixed a spelling mistake in the 1.1.5+1 changelog entry

[1.1.5+1]

• No functional changes. Fixed a reported formatting issue
• Mention removal of named constructor argument in 1.1.0 changelog entry
• Add API docs to FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin.private() on how it could be used for testing
• Update notes on testing to mention that the FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin.private() named constructor may be of use

[1.1.5]

• [Android] minor optimisation on scheduling related code so that Gson instance is reused instead of being rebuilt each time
• Changed plugin to require 1.12.3+hotfix.5 or greater since pub has issues resolving 1.12.3+hotfix.6
• Updated changelog entry for version 1.1.4 to mention removal of upper bound constraint on Flutter SDK requirement

[1.1.4]

• Support v2 Android embedding. Note that there is currently a known issue in the Flutter SDK that will cause onSelectNotification to fire twice on Android. The fix is in the master channel but hasn't rolled out to other channels. Subscribe to the issue for updates.

[1.1.2]

• Passing a null notification id now throws an ArgumentError. Thanks to PR from talmor_guy
• Slight tweak to message displayed with by ArgumentError when notification id is not within range of a 32-bit integer

[1.1.1]

• [Android] Added ability to specify timeout duration of notification
• [Android] Added ability to specify the notification category

[1.1.0]

• Breaking change Updated plugin to make use of flutter_local_notifications_platform_interface version 1.0.1. This allows for platform-specific implementations of the platform interface to now be accessible. Note that the plugin will check which platform the plugin is running on. Note: this may have inadvertently broke some tests for users as the plugin now checks which platform the plugin is executing code on and would throw an UnimplementedError since neither iOS or Android can be detected. Another issue is that NotificationAppLaunchDetails was no longer exposed via the main plugin. Please upgrade to 1.1.3 to have both of these issues fixed
• Breaking change Plugin callbacks are no longer publicly accessible
• Breaking change [iOS] Local notifications that launched the app should now only be processed by the plugin if they were created by the plugin.

• [Android] Added ability to specify the "ticker" text. Thanks to PR submitted by Zhang Jing
• Spelling mistake fixes in readme. Thanks to PR submitted by Wanbok (Wayne) Choi

[0.7.0]

• Breaking change [Android] Updated to Gradle 5.1.1 and Android Gradle plugin has been updated to 3.4.0 (aligns with Android Studio 3.4 release). Example app has also been updated to Gradle 5.1.1. Apps will need to update to use the plugin. Please see here for more information if you need help on updating
• [Android] Add ability to specify the LED colour of the notification. Updated example app to show this can be done. Note that for Android 8.0+ (i.e. API 26+) that this is tied to the notification channel

[0.6.1]

• [Android/iOS] Added pendingNotificationRequests method. This will return a list of pending notification requests that have been scheduled to be shown in the future. Updated example app to include sample code for calling the method
• [Android] Fix an issue where scheduling a notification (recurring or otherwise) with the same id as another notification that was scheduled with the same id would result in both being stored in shared preferences. The shared preferences were used to reschedule notifications on reboot and shouldn't affect the functionality of displaying the notifications
• Updated plugin methods to return Future<void> instead of Future as per Dart guidelines
• Updated readme to mention known issue with scheduling notifications and daylight savings
• Refactored widgets in example app

[0.6.0]

• Breaking change [Android] Updated Gradle plugin to 3.3.2
• Breaking change [Android] Changed to store the name of drawable specified as the small icon to be used for Android notifications instead of the resource ID. This should fix the scenario where an app could be updated and the resource IDs got change and cause scheduled notifications to not appear. Believe this fix should retroactively apply for notifications scheduled with an icon specified but won't apply to those that were scheduled to use the default icon specified via the initialize method. This is due to the fact the name of the default icon wasn't being cached in previous ones but this has now changed so it's cached in shared preferences from this version onwards

[0.5.2]

• Fix for when multiple isolates use the plugin. Thanks to PR submitted by xtelinco
• Added the channelAction field to the AndroidNotificationDetails class. This provides options for managing notification channels on Android. Default behaviour is to create the notification channel if it doesn't exist (which was what it it use to do). Another option is to update the details of the notification channel. Example app has been updated to demonstrate how to update a notification channel when sending a notification

[0.5.1+2]

• Added support for messaging style notifications on Android as requested in issue 159. See example app for some sample code

[0.5.0]

• Breaking change Migrated to use AndroidX as the Android support libraries are deprecated. There shouldn't be any functional changes. Developers may require migrating their apps to support this following this guide. This addresses issue 162. Thanks to Jeff Scaturro for submitting the PR for this work. Note that if you don't want to migrate your app to use AndroidX yet then you may need to pin dependencies to a specific version

[0.4.5]

• Fix issue 160 so that notifications created with the schedule on Android will appear at the exact date and time they are scheduled

[0.4.4+2]

• Fix changelog

[0.4.4+1]

• Breaking change Fix naming of onDidReceiveLocalNotification property in the IOSInitializationSettings class (was previously named onDidReceiveLocalNotificationCallback by accident)

[0.4.4]

• Breaking change removed registerUNNotificationCenterDelegate argument for the IOSInitializationSettings class as it wasn't actually used.
• Plugin can now handle didReceiveLocalNotification delegate method in iOS and allow developers to handle the associated callback in Flutter. Added a onDidReceiveLocalNotificationCallback argument to the IOSInitializationSettings class to enable this and updated the sample code to demonstrate the usage. This should resolve issue 14.

[0.4.3]

• Merged PR from Aine LLC (ganessaa) to fix issue 140 where scheduled notifications were shown immediately on iOS versions before 10. Note that this issue is likely related to an known issue in the Flutter engine that may require switching channels to be addressed as the fix isn't on the stable channel yet.
• [Android] Provide a way to hide the large icon when showing an expanded big picture notification via the hideExpandedLargeIcon flag within thr BigPictureStyleInformation class. This provides a solution for issue 136. Updated the example to demonstrate
• Merged PR from (riccardoratta) so that sample code is coloured in GitHub to improve readability.

[0.4.2+1]

• Update changelog to indicate when MessageHandler typedef got renamed (in 0.4.1) as raised in issue 132

[0.4.2]

[0.4.1]

• Breaking change renamed the selectNotification callback exposed by the initialize function to onSelectNotification
• Breaking change renamed the MessageHandler typedef to SelectNotificationCallback
• Breaking change updated plugin to Android Support Library version 28.0, compile and target SDK version to 28

• Updated the Android Integration section around registering receivers via the Android manifest as per the suggestion in 116
• Updated version of the http dependency for used by the example app

[0.4.0]

• Fix overflow rendering issue in the example app

[0.3.4]

• [Android] Fix issue 71 where the wrong time on when the notification occurred is being displayed. Breaking change this involves changing it the receiver for displaying a scheduled notification will only build the notification prior to displaying it. There is a fix applied to existing scheduled notifications in this release that will be eventually be removed as going forward all scheduled notifications will work as just described
• [Android] Fix an issue with serialising and deserialising the notifications so that additional style types (big picture and inbox) would be recognised. This affected scheduled notifications where upon rebooting the device, the plugin would need to reschedule the notifications using information saved in shared preferences.

[0.3.3]

• [iOS] Fixes issue 61 where the showDailyAtTime and showWeeklyAtDayAndTime methods may not show notifications that should appear the next day. Thanks to Jeff Scaturro for submitting the PR to fix this.

[0.3.2]

• No functional changes. Updated the readme around raising issues, recurring Android notifications on Android and a fix in the getting started section (thanks to ebeem for spotting that).

[0.3.1]

• BREAKING CHANGES restructured code so that only a single import statement is now needed to use the plugin. Classes that had the platform (Android/iOS) as a suffix are now prefixes to improve readability of code and follow the recommendations for writing Dart code i.e. write code that reads more like a sentence. The following have been renamed

  • InitializationSettingsAndroid -> AndroidInitializationSettings
  • InitializationSettingsIOS -> IOSInitializationSettings
  • NotificationDetailsAndroid -> AndroidNotificationDetails
  • NotificationStyleAndroid -> AndroidNotificationStyle
  • NotificationDetailsIOS -> IOSNotificationDetails

• [Android] Ability to set the large icon used for each notification. See example app for sample code

• [Android] Add ability to show grouped notifications. Example code has been updated to demonstrate this functionality.
• Fixed the example project so it works with the new release of Cocoapods (1.5.0)
• Fixes for when API methods were called without specifying platform specific settings

[0.1.6]

• BREAKING CHANGES Apologies again, this is another cleanup release. FlutterLocalNotifications class has been renamed to FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin now as it makes more sense from a readability perspective. More importantly, the class and methods are also no longer static to faciliate mocking and testing. It's something I should've picked up on earlier so sorry once again. Check the source code for an example on how to mock the plugin when testing

[0.1.5]

• BREAKING CHANGES There are no functional changes. This is an API cleanup release where I've reorganised the Dart classes to better separate them by platform. What this means is that the import statements in your coode will need to be fixed. Apologies to anyone using the plugin but I feel that this was necessary as Flutter may target additional platforms in the future. Hopefully you'll agree that the end result looks a better :)

[0.1.4]

• [Android] Add inbox notification style

[0.1.3]

• Fix broken example app for iOS due to incorrect reference to custom sound file. Added ability to handle when a notification is tapped. See updated example for details on how to do this and will navigate to another page. Note that the second page isn't rendering full-screen on Android if the notification was tapped on while the app was in the foreground. Suspect that this is Flutter rendering issue and have logged this on the Flutter repository at https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/16636
