Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior

Ios: every parameter not working and notification are not getting triggered.
Android : Notification get triggered but not at specific time.

Steps to Reproduce

let momentOfFirstAt = moment(currentDateTime);
let firstAt = new Date(momentOfFirstAt.toString());
cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({
title: "Daily Reminder",
trigger:{
at: firstAt,
every: "day"
},
foreground:true
});

Context

Trying to show a notification everyday at a specific date.

let momentOfFirstAt = moment(currentDateTime);
let firstAt = new Date(momentOfFirstAt.toString());

Aren't you just getting the current date like that, therefore triggering it immediately? Maybe you should add one day to it. That's what I am doing, but it is still not working for me.

I am using the same version. For me, the notification just never triggers. (just tested on Android).

    let d = new Date() 
    d.setDate(d.getDate()+1)
    d.setHours(9)
    d.setMinutes(0)
    d.setSeconds(0)

    cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({
      id: 1,
      text: "Time for your daily dose!",
      trigger: {
        firstAt: d,
        every: "day"
      }
    })

This should create a notification every day at 9AM starting the next day, but I do not receive it. If I leave out every: "day" it works fine btw.

same problem to me testet on android with
cordova-plugin-local-notification 0.9.0-beta.2

[mabuonomo]

same problem

firstAt (or at:) and every not work togheter

I need create a notification every day at same time

[mabuonomo]

this examples works

` var now = new Date().getTime(),
_5_sec_from_now = new Date(now + 5 * 1000);

        cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({
            text: "Delayed Notification",
            at: _5_sec_from_now,
            every: "minute",
            led: "FF0000",
            sound: null
        });`

With every "minute", the first notification start not at 5 seconds from now but at 1' and 5'', without "minute" start after 5 seconds

[gecsbernat]

I solved it.
First create a notification object, then pass that object to the schedule method. No need for 'at' or 'firstAt' option.

let notification = {
 id: 1,
 title: 'TITLE',
 text: 'TEXT',
 trigger: { every: { hour: 10, minute: 0 } }
};

this.localNotifications.schedule(notification);

This will trigger notification every day at 10:00 from now. If today we passed 10:00 it will start tomorrow.
Plugin version: 0.9.3-beta.3
Tested on IONIC3 IOS 11+

@mabuonomo your syntax is for version under 0.9 und should not be valid.
@gecsbernat code is working on android with Plugin version: 0.9.3-beta.3 👍

[mabuonomo]

@katche70 in my case the @gecsbernat's code work fine on android (7/8)

[sudattadesai72]

@gecsbernat code is working fine on android with Plugin version: 0.9.0-beta.3 👍 Thank you so much!!!
