React-native-push-notification: Group notifications?

[filipemerker]

Is there a solution for this already?

You can get a simple grouping done with the payload here: https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification/issues/935

But support for configuring the "group summary" and allowing multiple different groups of messages seems to be unsupported :

Had to remove this library completely. We're using One Signal now for push notifications and this library is great and allows you to group notifications and all.

Still, for those that have the same need, I wouldn't close this issue.

Hi @filipemerker
Group notifications are already implemented.

  group: "group", // (optional) add group to message
  groupSummary: false, // (optional) set this notification to be the group summary for a group of notifications, default: false

Hey, @Dallas62,

That's for a localNotification tho.
How to group notifications that come from a remote server?

[Dallas62]

You can send a data-only notification, and pass the data to localNotification method:

PushNotification.configure({
  // (required) Called when a remote is received or opened, or local notification is opened
  onNotification: function (notification) {
    console.log("NOTIFICATION:", notification);

    if(!notification.userInteraction) {
       PushNotification.localNotification(notification.data);
    }
    else {
    // process the notification
    }

    // (required) Called when a remote is received or opened, or local notification is opened
    notification.finish(PushNotificationIOS.FetchResult.NoData);
  },
});

You can add more condition than just passing the notification.data to localNotification, but it's a basic exemple.

Fair enough, thanks for the snippet, I hope it's useful for somebody in the future!
