React-native-push-notification: How to stop ongoing notification.

[moisesynfam]

I'm unable to cancel an ongoing notification, no idea why. Has anybody encountered the same issue?

[mo-patel]

Have you already tried with PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications() or the PushNotification.cancelAllLocalNotifications() method?

[moisesynfam]

PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications() doesn't work, PushNotification.cancelAllLocalNotifications() does but I don't want to clear all notifications, just the ongoing one.

[mo-patel]

This may be a bit obvious but I have to ask, PushNotification.cancelLocalNotification() requires an id parameter which references the notification that was set. Can you confirm that the correct id is being passed in? This seems to work for me as expected.

[kaiyes]

@mo-patel AFAIU, PushNotification.cancelLocalNotification() is for android and requires an id and PushNotification.cancelAllLocalNotifications() is for ios. But,

• is there a way to delete all android notifications at once without providing the id ?

• Also, is there a way to get all the notification id number in an Array ?

[mo-patel]

@kaiyes That is not necessarily true. You can use PushNotification.cancelAllLocalNotifications() on android too as i have used it myself.
On your second point, as of yet, i don't think there is any supported method of getting all notification id's. What i did instead was create and store the id of the notification in to a JSON object alongside all of it's other details. I then retrieved that entire object and used it accordingly.

[kaiyes]

@mo-patel thanks. I just found that out yesterday when I got curious and just wanted to try and see if that works ! And it did. It's not mentioned anywhere ! Should be in the docs

Also, PushNotification.clearLocalNotification(2) exists too, but is not working for me

[shubhamkes]

cancelLocalNotifications isnt working for me as well

I have made sure that id is correct-
PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications({ id });

v- "react-native-push-notification": "^5.0.1",

Hi,

You can use PushNotification.clearLocalNotification(tag, id), tag can be null.

[shubhamkes]

PushNotification.clearLocalNotification({id}) works fine when I am using repeatTime and repeatType.
However my motive is to remove the ongoing notification (targeted with id). But sadly its not working :(

Also tried to debug into native code and found out that
scheduledNotificationsPersistence.getAll().keySet()

doesn't seem to return anything

[Dallas62]

Hi @schumannd

PushNotification.clearLocalNotification(tag, id) doesn't accept an object.

Regards

[shubhamkes]

Oops I confused it with PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications({id: '123'});

Tried clearLocalNotification as well rn, as per your suggestion.
Getting following error

[Dallas62]

Hi @moisesynfam
What did you tried ?
It's seems you tried an object and as I said:

PushNotification.clearLocalNotification(tag, id) doesn't accept an object.

https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification/issues/1247#issuecomment-800053262

[shubhamkes]

PushNotification.clearLocalNotification(tag, '123'), where 123 is the identifier of notification.
This isnt working,
Had tried sending id as number as well, this step stopped crashing but it isnt clearing notification from notification center

[Dallas62]

Ok, and what is the code you are using to trigger the notification ?

[shubhamkes]

PushNotification.localNotification

[Dallas62]

If you don't publish all the parameters I can't help.

[shubhamkes]

PushNotification.localNotification({
    collapse_key: '123',
    channelId,
    url,
    largeIconUrl,
    bigPictureUrl,
    bigText, 
    subText, 
    title,
    message,

    /* Android Only Properties */
    autoCancel: true, 
    tag: channelId, 
    group: group,
    ongoing: convertedOnGoing,

    invokeApp: true,

    usesChronometer: false, // default: false.

    timeoutAfter: null,

    color,
    vibrate: true, // (optional) default: true
    vibration: '300', // vibration length in milliseconds, ignored if vibrate=false, default: 1000
    /* iOS only properties */
    alertAction: 'view', // (optional) default: view
    category: '', // (optional) default: empty string

    /* iOS and Android properties */
    // id: this.lastId, // (optional) Valid unique 32 bit integer specified as string. default: Autogenerated Unique ID
    userInfo: { id }
    playSound, 
    soundName,
    number: 1,
    id,
});

I am triggering localNotification on receiving notification from firebase server

[Dallas62]

So you are using:

PushNotification.clearLocalNotification(tag, id);

where tag is the value of: channelId ?

[shubhamkes]

Yes, exactly
Apart from that have tried
js PushNotification.getDeliveredNotifications(({ ...props }) => { PushNotification.removeDeliveredNotifications([props[0].identifier]); });

Where in props value in console is
js {"0": {"body": "Notification body.", "group": "order2", "identifier": "223", "tag": "sk-notification-high-priority", "title": "Notification title!"}}
Sadly this method also not working

[Dallas62]

From a recent change, you can test:
https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification#5-removedeliverednotifications

PushNotification.removeDeliveredNotifications(identifiers);

where identifers is an array of notification id.

[shubhamkes]

Have tried that also, please check in above comment

[Dallas62]

Yes, but you didn't pass an array.

[shubhamkes]

Ooops, while trying here and there, I removed array.
But I had tried array also initially, but not worked :(

[Dallas62]

With PushNotification.removeDeliveredNotifications(identifiers); try to remove the tag option when calling:

PushNotification.localNotification()

[shubhamkes]

Wow it worked 😃
Thank you for your time :)

[shubhamkes]

If this issue is in latest version as well, Shall we add this gotcha to README ?
Do you want me to create a pr?
