React-native-push-notification: Checking Notification Permissions Android not working

Checking Notification Permissions Android not working

I'm trying to get the Android App Notification status with the check permission method here. Here's the code to check permission in Android

According the readme file, I did the following..

1. yarn add react-native-push-notification
2. I have not performed any manual installation as stated here
3. I write my code as below
4. Android has no respond, but iOS did come back with expected respond.

import PushNotification from 'react-native-push-notification';
async componentDidMount(){
PushNotification.checkPermission().then((response) => {
      if (response && response.alert !== 0) {
        console.log('hi4')
        console.log(response)
        return; 
      }
      console.log('hi5')
        console.log(response)
    });
}

Am I doing anything wrong here to check the App Notification status in Android?

For iOS, I have this install.
yarn add @react-native-community/push-notification-ios

Hi @TommyLeong
As the Readme define that method, this is not supposed to be a promise. Actually only the iOS library allow this.

What does that suppose to mean? Is that a known bug for this lib?

This is not a "bug", this library use callbacks, not promises.

Possible to provide sample code?

https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification#checking-notification-permissions

PushNotification.checkPermissions(callback: Function) Check permissions

callback will be invoked with a permissions object:

alert: boolean
badge: boolean
sound: boolean

PushNotification.checkPermissions(function(permissions) {  console.log(permissions); });
