Also getting this, but only on PhoneGap build, locally it works normally

[thisIsChetan]

Any update on this? I am also stuck with this error.

[SaidMarar]

i have the same error after iinstalling cordova-plugin-local-notification

[SaidMarar]

Guys
For this moment Ionic Native does not support 0.9.* version of this plugin, which brings breaking changes.
I removed the installed one 0.9 then i installed the old stable version compatible with ionic:
de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification
And it's working now :)
Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47866467/no-virtual-method-getactivenotifications

[thisIsChetan]

@SaidMarar I am not using ionic-native wrapper for this as I already knew that it won't support the latest plugin. I am interested in using 0.9 version as it has more features than the 0.8.
I have created a POC for v0.9 and it worked well on ios, but getting the abovementioned error for android.
Is there a way to make it work in android?

[stefan1242]

Same error here :(

[katzer]

Closing since its a duplication. You need the lastest SDK to compile the plugin code even your runtime SDK is lower.

[alemdg]

tired of ionic

[wedneyyuri]

Hi guys,

NotificationChannel was added in Android API level 26, so you need to change compileSdkVersion to 26 or above.

[duisenbayeva]

I had the same problem with cordova-plugin-firebase, but they knew the issue and created new branch and reverted the commit with NotificationChannel usage. With this plugin you can find the commit where it is used and add the previous commit as
"cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications.git#commit_hash_code"

check if you are running a version of cordova android < 6.3
cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add [email protected]
