_Reproduce this issue; include code to reproduce, if relevant_

1. on cordova "deviceready" add the following code.

onDeviceReady() {
      // Now safe to use device APIs
      if (window.cordova) {
        alert("device ready");
        let cordovaPlugin = cordova.plugins;
        cordovaPlugin.notification.local.schedule([
          {
            id: 0,
            title: "Remind",
            text: "Remind me to drink water.",
            trigger: {
              every: {
                hour: 17,
                minute: 36
              }
            }
          },
          {
            id: 1,
            title: "Remind",
            text: "Buy Milk",
            trigger: {
              every: {
                hour: 17,
                minute: 34
              }
            }
          }
        ]);
      }
    }

1. Create and install the cordova "app-debug.apk" on any android phone.
2. open the app and initiate the plugin and wait for the given time.
3. notification appears on a given time but you can neither get rid of notification nor able to open the app. After a minute app will crash and notification will go away.

Context

eg:

1. Remind me to drink water everyday at morning 8 AM.
2. Remind me to watch the movie every day at 9 PM.

Yeah, I had the same issue and opened it a couple of months ago and I never received any answers.

Yeah I guess the project is not maintained anymore. Are you aware of any other similar cordova plugin.

Faced the same problem.
I found out that the notification is not hiding because it is not one notification, but infinity. Until the minute runs out, notifications appear again if you hide them.
A possible solution is to specify not only minutes, but also seconds in the every parameter. Crutch, but it seems to work.
Found this issue after switching from 3 ionic to 5

[PiloTeZ]

Specifying seconds in every didn't help. But I noticed that the notification is forcibly displayed for a minute, and then disappears automatically.
That is, the behavior of the notification is completely inconsistent with the old behavior. It is not known what the matter is, in the plugin, or in the android, we need to look for workarounds

hi all, perhaps you can try this fork, it is more recent and still maintained:

Guys, I sat all day and came to the following conclusion.
Cordova notifications work so-so and for reliability it is better to use the most typical simple designs.
In my case, notifications need to be sent daily at 21:00. "Trigger every" does not work. It worked for me for ionic 3, but after switching to ionic 5 it began to get stuck like yours.

Solution: in a loop, create several "trigger at" notifications for the required dates, instead of one with "trigger every".
For me, it's enough to create notifications 10 days in advance and update these notifications every time the application is launched. To update, it is enough with these 10 notifications to put down the same ID every time.

But for some reason, even ordinary notifications are not shown every time. I don't know what to do, probably let it be as it is.
UPDATE: This xiaomi blocks simple notifications, everything is working
