React-native-push-notification: No Method to unsubscribe

[Moussawi7]

Hi,
I read the documentation carefully but i didn't find a method to unregister from push notification.
How to achieve similar operation?!
Thank you.

I tried to use the unregister() method but it does not seem to work because i was still receiving notification push.

PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications(), or cancelAllLocalNotifications should work.

Testing this with a button that sends local notifications and a button that calls the unregister method, this appears to work for me. @theohdv , do you have more details about your case?

(Note that I don't have any responsibility for this project, but as a user of this library—which is working great for me so far; thanks to all contribs!—I'm just curious about cases where unregister may not work as expected.)

[theohdv]

Okay maybe it is because this method is only for local notifications. And to prevent your application to receive push notifications is a server side job I assume (It is how i managed that).

Finally I am able unsubscribe from Remote Notification 😉
Refer to : surialabs/react-native-push-notification@39d7adb

A scenario to subscribe and unsubscribe is to signIn & signOut

• When signIn, fire requestPermissions() (So a new deviceToken is generated & u have to update the token to your backend)
• When signOut, fire abandonPermissions() (The token will be invalidated & your device will not receive any remote notification sending through that deviceToken)

@kyaroru Thank you for the solution it works fine on iOS
But, I cant unsubscribe on android, I still receive notification after
PushNotification.requestPermissions()
can you help?

[kyaroru]

u have to fire PushNotification.abandonPermission() using the code that I committed

Thank you @kyaroru for the reply.

• I modified the plugin code source exactly like you did in your commit, I cleaned my android project with the command line ./gradlew clean, but I still receive notification on Android after PushNotification.abandonPermission()
  Did I miss something more to do?

[kyaroru]

have you link the method abandonPermission in the index.android.js? alternatively, you can put console.log and see whether the method is invoked correctly

@kyaroru Can you make a PR with this feature? 😅

[JoseVf]

@YahiaJabeur Maybe try PushNotification.abandonPermissions() instead of PushNotification.abandonPermission()

[kyaroru]

@kyaroru Can you make a PR with this feature? 😅

hmm.. will do in the near future 😛

Ran into this issue today on Android, neither abandonPermissions nor unregister releases an app from all previously subscribed topics/notifications

Hi, I think this issue is solved in recent release. Feel free to reopen if it's not the case.
