Get Start

0. 💻 Install package

In the dependencies: section of your pubspec.yaml, add the following line:

flutter_notification_listener: <latest_version>

1. Register the service in the manifest

The plugin uses an Android system service to track notifications. To allow this service to run on your application, the following code should be put inside the Android manifest, between the tags.

<service android:name="im.zoe.labs.flutter_notification_listener.NotificationsHandlerService"
    android:label="Flutter Notifications Handler"
    android:permission="android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.service.notification.NotificationListenerService" />
    </intent-filter>
</service>

If you want to start the service after reboot, also should put the following code.

<receiver android:name="im.zoe.labs.flutter_notification_listener.RebootBroadcastReceiver"
    android:enabled="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

2. Init the plugin and add listen handelr

void onData(NotificationEvent event) {
    print(event.toString());
}

Future<void> initPlatformState() async {
    NotificationsListener.initialize();
    NotificationsListener.receivePort.listen((evt) => onData(evt));

    // or you can register your static function
    NotificationsListener.initialize(callbackHandle: _callback);
}

static void _callback(NotificationEvent evt) {
    print("send evt to ui: $evt");
    final SendPort send = IsolateNameServer.lookupPortByName("_listener_");
    if (send == null) print("can't find the sender");
    send?.send(evt);
}

3. Check permission and start the service

void startListening() async {
    print("start listening");
    var hasPermission = await NotificationsListener.hasPermission;
    if (!hasPermission) {
        print("no permission, so open settings");
        NotificationsListener.openPermissionSettings();
        return;
    }

    var isR = await NotificationsListener.isRunning;

    if (!isR) {
        await NotificationsListener.startService();
    }

    setState(() => started = true);
}

Please check the ./example/lib/main.dart for more detail.
