Same for me

i've solved the issue doing the following:

1. Downgrade to 3.1.1
2. Run gradle clean
3. Delete build folders (./android && ./android/app)
4. Run react-native run-android again

Hope this works for you, at least temporally.

thx!
works for me.

[pedrosimao]

It works for me too.
But now it seems the push notifications are not working, and they were working on the 3.1.2 version.
Any tips on this?
Thanks

[pedrosimao]

Actually, push notifications just worked, but makes the app crash... before going back to the 3.1.1 it didn't crash.

[danigm87]

I have the same problem that @pedrosimao . Any update? :(

[asantos2]

@pedrosimao @danigm87 are you using react-native-background-job too?

Works for me too, thank you

[imspikey]

Same problem on android devices any help please?

[asantos2]

@imspikey give me more information about your problem
Android version, lib version?

[josephtactica]

I had this same problem. I was using version 3.1.2, downgraded to version 3.1.1 and worked for me.
I'm using Android 9.

PushNotificationAndroid.configure({
  onNotification: notification => {
    console.log(notification);
  },
  requestPermissions: true,
});

PushNotificationAndroid.localNotificationSchedule({
  title,
  message,
  date,
});

[asantos2]

@slavikdenis the problem isn't gradle, is the lib, im using gradle 3.2.1 and i don't have any problem.
Downgrade react-native-push-notification to 3.1.1, just modify the version on you package.json, delete node_modules/ and run "npm install" or "yarn install".

Hope this works for you

[Slals]

Does work for me, tries to downgrade gradle to 3.1.1 also the package to 3.1.1, nothing worked. It works on iOS though.

All the permissions are set, it should work...

It works. Thank you!

Are you getting any messages in your output from Android Studio or xcode?
I was having an issue where the icon would sometimes show in the notifications bar but nothing else. After looking through my logcat I found the below error. Someone, I can't find the link now, mentioned that these are required to work in Android manifest even though the the readme states otherwise...

<meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_name"
                     android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL NAME"/>
 <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_description"
                         android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL DESCRIPTION"/>

Logcat error:

.../RNPushNotification: failed to send push notification
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
        at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:2009)
        ...

[Shrroy]

You will not see a notification if the app is in the foreground on iOS. That is expected behavior

For testing in the foreground try this code

PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule({
  //... You can use all the options from localNotifications
  message: "My Notification Message", // (required)
  date: new Date(Date.now() + (60 * 1000)) // in 60 secs
});

@olegdev did the trick for me.

Did the trick, thanks!

[andrewtremblay-pear]

I was running into this issue as well. For those who can't (or don't want to) delete their./android build folders, check your android manifest.

You might be missing necessary permissions and metadata (listed here in the manual installation page): https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification#android-manual-installation

[moe11elf]

@andrewtremblay-pear yes! Could not figure out what was wrong.
localNotif() did fire but no notification showed up.
This part of the readme is not true (anymore ?):

"NOTE: localNotification() works without changes in the application part, while localNotificationSchedule() only works with these changes"

One has to adjust the application part, even for local notifications.

[keeprock]

What should I put in channel_name? Any value I want or some specific channel name from somewhere else?

<meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_name"
                     android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL NAME"/>

[moe11elf]

Tbh, I am quite new to rn. I just left it untouched, and it worked.

[keeprock]

thx @moe11elf. That means anything inside will work just fine. I'd tried it myself and it worked.

For future references - just put anything you want in it. Channel name obviously without spaces.

[shrynshjn]

I am having this problem too, it was working a month ago, but it's not working anymore and I can't seem to find the problem.

[vysakh0]

@shrynshjain Me too. It stopped working all of a sudden. :(

Hi,

Do not downgrade the library!
Old library doesn't work with recent Android.
Please follow the Readme or exemple project!
Create a channel and trigger the notification on this channel.

Regards,

[ShakeelAhmad-dev]

Same issue!
