Android Installation

NOTE: To use a specific play-service-gcm version, use in your android/app/build.gradle (change 8.1.0 for your version):

...

dependencies {
    ...

    compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0') {
        force = true;
    }
}

In your AndroidManifest.xml

    .....

	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
	<permission
	android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
	android:protectionLevel="signature" />
	<uses-permission android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />

	<application ....>
		<receiver
			android:name="com.google.android.gms.gcm.GcmReceiver"
			android:exported="true"
			android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
			<intent-filter>
				<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
				<category android:name="${applicationId}" />
			</intent-filter>
		</receiver>
	
		<receiver android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationPublisher" />
		<service android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationRegistrationService"/>
		<service
			android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationListenerService"
			android:exported="false" >
			<intent-filter>
				<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
			</intent-filter>
		</service>
        .....

In android/settings.gradle

...

include ':react-native-push-notification'
project(':react-native-push-notification').projectDir = file('../node_modules/react-native-push-notification/android')

In android/app/build.gradle

...

dependencies {
    ...

    compile project(':react-native-push-notification')
}

Register module (in MainApplication.java)

import android.content.Intent; // <--- Import Intent
import com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.ReactNativePushNotificationPackage;  // <--- Import Package

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {

  private ReactNativePushNotificationPackage mReactNativePushNotificationPackage; // <------ Add Package Variable

   ...

  private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
    @Override
    protected boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
      return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
    }

      @Override
      protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      mReactNativePushNotificationPackage = new ReactNativePushNotificationPackage(); // <------ Initialize the Package

      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          mReactNativePushNotificationPackage // <---- Add the Package
      );
    }
  };

   // Add onNewIntent
   public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
      if ( mReactNativePushNotificationPackage != null ) {
          mReactNativePushNotificationPackage.newIntent(intent);
      }
   }

    ....
}

Add onNewIntent (in MainActivity.java)

import android.content.Intent; // <--- Import Intent

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
   ...

    // Add onNewIntent
    @Override
    public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
        super.onNewIntent(intent);
        ((MainApplication) getApplication()).onNewIntent(intent);
    }
    ....
}

Usage

var PushNotification = require('react-native-push-notification');

PushNotification.configure({

    // (optional) Called when Token is generated (iOS and Android)
    onRegister: function(token) {
        console.log( 'TOKEN:', token );
    },

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

    // ANDROID ONLY: (optional) GCM Sender ID.
    senderID: "YOUR GCM SENDER ID",

    // IOS ONLY (optional): default: all - Permissions to register.
    permissions: {
        alert: true,
        badge: true,
        sound: true
    },

    // Should the initial notification be popped automatically
    // default: true
    popInitialNotification: true,

    /**
      * IOS ONLY: (optional) default: true
      * - Specified if permissions will requested or not,
      * - if not, you must call PushNotificationsHandler.requestPermissions() later
      */
    requestPermissions: true,
});

Handling Notifications

When any notification is opened or received the callback onNotification is called passing an object with the notification data.

Notification object example:

{
    foreground: false, // BOOLEAN: If the notification was received in foreground or not
    message: 'My Notification Message', // STRING: The notification message
    data: {}, // OBJECT: The push data
}

Local and Schedule Notifications

PushNotification.localNotification(details: Object)

PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule(details: Object)

EXAMPLE:

PushNotification.localNotification({
    /* Android Only Properties */
    id: 0, // (optional) default: Autogenerated Unique ID
    title: "My Notification Title", // (optional)
    ticker: "My Notification Ticker", // (optional)
    autoCancel: true, (optional) default: true
    largeIcon: "ic_launcher", // (optional) default: "ic_launcher"
    smallIcon: "ic_notification", // (optional) default: "ic_notification" with fallback for "ic_launcher"
    bigText: "My big text that will be shown when notification is expanded", // (optional) default: "message" prop
    subText: "This is a subText", // (optional) default: none
    number: 10, // (optional) default: none (Cannot be zero)
    color: "red", // (optional) default: system default

    /* iOS and Android properties */
    message: "My Notification Message" // (required)
});

PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule({
	message: "My Notification Message", // (required)
	date: new Date(Date.now() + (60 * 1000)) // in 60 secs
});
