React-native-push-notification: Installing on android version.

[avdept]

I've been following readme, installed on ios, worked fine. But android does not. Getting java.lang.SecurityException: Not allowed to start service Intent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTER pkg=com.google.android.gms (has extras) } without permission com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE error in android studio console.
What did I miss?
Here is my Manifest file

Does adding the following to your build.gradle help you? I'm having issues with Android too. Adding the following crashes my app and otherwise notifications aren't registering.

compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0') {
        force = true;
    }

@a-koka I'm having the same problem. did you solve it?

Hi @EyalSi, the docs need to be updated to specify that this step is needed only if you want remote notifications. As a matter of fact, all you need is the following permission in your manifest.xml for local notifications to work.

<receiver android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationPublisher" />

I used this to help me get a baseline use case working and built my app from there.

Hope this helps.

I used the new version and works fine

compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:11.0.2') {
      force = true;
  }

I'm getting the feeling that this project may be abandoned, @zo0r can we help you maintain it?
