Im using Nearby and Eddystone URL to broadcast notifications to Chrome on mobile. After provisioning and setting up of the beacons, it works great. The notifications shows up in the notification drawer. However, if it was dismissed by accident or intentionally, it doesn't show up anymore. I read somewhere that it goes "silent" for some time to avoid pestering the users. But in my case, it never returned unless I provision the beacons again.
Two questions:
Is this a known bug?
Will the notification ever return without doing extra work?
How to reset it to see the notifications again?
If the notification has been dismissed on a device recently, that device may not show another notification a period of time. You can reset the backoff policy by opening Settings … Google … Nearby. Read this and more troubleshooting Tips.
There's nothing you can do about this as it's controlled by Google/Android.

Is there a way to store app notifications in a flutter app. Most of the time this app will be closed and the app notifications will not directly be hitting the app. I would like to store app notifications in a notifications received section. I know I can get the notifications if the app is opened, but for if the app is closed and it just shows as a status, I can't get them in the device unless the user clicks on the notification message. and it opens the app. What options do I have and is what I am wanting to do even possible?
First interpretation of your question: If I read your question correctly, you're saying its not possible to have text in your notifications when the app is not open. This is definitely possible, almost all your apps create notifications on the device with more than just 'status'.
Another interpretation of your question: In response to a firebase cloud messaging message, you might want to save data or do some other background task, instead of just creating a notification the user sees. This is not enabled by default. There's lots more instructions on enabling and using this in the README
By default background messaging is not enabled. To handle messages in the background:
The golden nugget of information is _firebaseMessaging.configure(onBackgroundMessage: yourBackgroundMessageHandler) which is not listed under the receiving messages section.
Let me know if I misread. What do you mean by status?
You can use background Fetch to make the app stay in the background. The package will awaken an app in the background about every 15 minutes.
I am using phonegap push notification plugin and all seems work fine. push comes without any problem.
But the problem is there is nothing I can do when app is back-grounded.
multiple push notifications can arrive when app is backgrounded. I can not expect which push
notification user going to click. Whatever notification user clicks, app will be resumed without
information of user selection. I have to trigger different events depanding on what nofitication
user selected. I need to know what notification user selected when app is resumed but don't
know how to... seems very tricky problem. is there anybody had same problem?
how did you guys handle this problem?
any help will be appriciated.
never mind...
I thought window.plugins.pushNotifiction.getPendingNotification would return all pending
notifications which arrived while app is background.
But getPendingNotification function only returns the notification that user selected on
notification center or mobile screen.
well... seems nice..
you can`t get all notification information which fire during application is off or app. is in background but, you can fetch user info shortly receive notification in native iOS app.
please follow this application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.
At first call of launch you can check for options and retrive the user-info.
for more info refer above link.
I'm using local notification in my app but have a problem handling them correctly.
When app is running, and active, in didReceiveLocalNotification I can fetch user settings from NSUserDefaults and handle the repeating notification, and cancel it if fire date isn't the day it should fire, or show an alert if it's correct date.
However, when app is running, but inactive, the notification will fire although it shouldn't.
Same thing when app is not running, the notification will fire although it shouldn't.
Question
When app is not running, and when app is inactive, how can I access NSUserDefaults and cancel the notification before the alert show up?
Edited answer
The reason I had to ask this was because of bad app design and logic. I tried to set repeating local notification no matter what settings user has set and access NSUserDefaults in it although I should have access user settings first in app itself and then set notifications accordingly.
You can't. a UILocalNotification is handled by iOS and not your app.
Only when your app is active the notification get directly pushed to you app.
In all other cases the os will just show the notification.
Naturally this is programmatically possible (using enabledRemoteNotificationTypes). This is a policy question.
Can I require that a user has push notifications enabled to be allowed to use an app, or will this behaviour cause the app to be rejected by Apple?
The App Store Review Guidelines includes a section on push notifications (§ 5), but does not cover this.
Sometimes I might not want any notification from any application because I am busy. Therefore I turn Notifications on or off as I choose. All you can do is display an UIAlertView reminding the user that push notification is disable when they enter your app.
Submit and see what happens. First, try it with the app closing itself if the user has push notifications turned off, showing them an alert letting them know why the app won't run and how to fix it (and a button that will take them to the right part of Settings if that's possible). If Apple rejects it, then just take out the app quiting code and let them continue by dismissing the nag screen.
Like you say, there's nothing explicitly forbidding it in the guidelines that you can find, so the only way to get an answer is to submit code and see what happens, since you generally can't get a straight answer out of Apple regarding these issues until you have something specific and real for them to consider.
I read more post regarding iPhone notification, and I have a simple question....
Where a device receive a notification (so I can display a message contains the message notificatio ti advise the user).
I understand that message is managed by the application.
The question is:
...when my application receive the notification is it possible to start it?
Or in other world the application became run when receive the notification or it simple became active only to manage the message and at the end of notification management the app return to sleep?
The main application windows is opened on the device ?
Many thanks in advance

With push notifications you can prompt the user to take action, which if they agree (by tapping the "open application" button), will open the application automatically.
The caveat is that you can't do this without the users consent. They have to tap the open application button for your app to open. There's no way to open the app automatically without the user's action, nor is there any way to open, perform the required actions and quit the app automatically.
The apps dont "sleep" they are either running or not (till 4.0 OS that is), im assuming you are asking about push notification, what happens when a user receives a notification is that they can choose to close it, or go ahead and "view" the notification which can cause the app to open automatically...thats as far is it goes in the current system i blive...
