I'm using Capacitor with Ionic 4 Framework. When I schedule a local notification, it appears in the statusbar correctly with the passed parameters, but it does not appear like a popup. I was reading about this and is named "Heads up" notification, which has additional priority parameters. There is a parameter in Capacitor Local Notification plugin which let me show a notification as a Heads up?
Unfortunately not, i just posted how you could get around this if you customize the plugin in the Issue tracked for Capacitor.
Basically the creation of the android channel is hardcoded in the plugin to an IMPORTANCE of 3, if you set that to MAX (5) then the chennel will enable the heads up notification.
For older versions of Android, you will want to override the default Priority in the plugin as well.

I'm using flutter local notification plugin and I want the user to be able to customize the notification sound and vibration but the plugin's docs says:
For Android 8.0+, sounds and vibrations are associated with
notification channels and can only be configured when they are first
created. Showing/scheduling a notification will create a channel with
the specified id if it doesn't exist already. If another notification
specifies the same channel id but tries to specify another sound or
vibration pattern then nothing occurs.
so I looked up for deleting the channel just to create a new one with the new settings and the docs says that it's a feature in android but I couldn't find any reference on how to do that.
is there's a way to do that, or is there's any another solution?
thanks in advance.
I didn't find an answer or solution about deleting channels, but I tried making a channel for every sound just by using the sound name as an id for the channel, and it worked :).
I've been using this package for couple of apps already. Always used one-isolate version.
On the iOS, I see this package successfully registers the audio on control center but on Android, I don't see control buttons anymore. Only a notification about that app being running on the background. Did I miss something in the setup or is it a bug?
When I'm initiating the service, I was overriding the androidNotificationIcon with an incorrect value.
androidNotificationIcon: 'mipmap/launcher_icon'
Probably because I've copied pasted some code from my previous application. I removed this line now and it points to the its default value.
{String androidNotificationIcon = 'mipmap/ic_launcher'}
Everything works.
Currently I'am working on Flutter App which should act like alarm for different todo lists. I need to set every todo list tile for pushing me notifications every, let's say, 5 hours during a week. And I will probably have a lot of todos, which will have own notification. So I have two questions? Is this possible to apply every notification locally as a group notifications without using FCM.
The second one is about the local notifications limit. I read from this page flutter_local_notifications that iOS has about 60 notificatios limitation for every App. And I can't understand if it's true or not? Maybe I've got it wrong? And what about Android Apps. Have they any notification limits per app?
I was wondering, given that Flutter is multi platform and each store requires its own procedure for the final step of setting up Push notifications, would it be worthwhile to implement a full "flutter proprietary push notification system" something that would ignore completely the Android/iOS and other stores implementation?
The main service that the store provides is to "find" the device in the final step of the push, this could be replaced with:
a subscribe / ack of this flutter layer to a server (whenever the app declares that it wants to use it), that will send the message when required (with a messaging queue?)
an always on instance on the phone to actually receive the push (this is probably the most critical part)
UPDATE: I am realising that this necessity will probably be covered by some sort of third party provider, such as what Crashlytics has done with error and crash reports.
Operating system push notification services (OSPNS) are provided by the Android and iOS and other platforms. If you want your messages to be shown as notifications on the notification tray/status bar you have to configure it as required by that platform and there is no other option for this. If you want to use only one push service than Huawei Push Kit might be the one to choose since it can send push notifications to all platforms Android, iOS, Huawei devices and also Web.
This is almost impossible.
Because on the basis of Android, there is a part handled by the OS in the case of push, so even if the app does not reside in memory, it can be processed. If you're going to create a Flutter-only Push system, the Flutter app should always be running as a background service (iOS is a different issue).
If you only want to be able to use push while the Flutter app is running, that might be the way to go. However, it will be difficult after the app is closed.

How can I implement WhatsApp/Telegram like call notification when the flutter app is in the background or cleared from the recent task (clearing ram)? Can anyone let me know Exactly How to do this?
There is a great youtube series on this exact topic. In the series, a YouTuber by the name of the CS Guy creates a clone of Skype. I've placed the link to the video where he explains how to create a pop-up screen when a user calls another user, however, you may need to watch the previous videos within the series in order to get everything working. Its quite long but I recommend you watch the entire thing. In terms of displaying notifications when a user is called, I recommend you watch a video by Fireship listed below. In the video, he explains how to send notifications in the background when a certain event occurs in Firestore.
I can't explain the entire process in detail to achieve what you want but I can give a general overview of what you would need to do.
Watch the video/entire series by the CS Guy and complete everything
Learn how to send push notifications in firebase from Fireship
When a new document is created within the calls collection (You will understand once you finish the cs guy series) trigger cloud function.
Find the uid of the receiver of the call within the cloud function and grab the user's token from Firestore.
Finally, send a notification to the receiver telling them about the incoming call.

I have done the exact same thing in my application and can help you out if you need further assistance, however, please go through both videos/series first.
