I'm working an application and I need to use push notification. I know that push notification are a normal permission so I can't ask it at run time. But I would insert in the permission when the user downloads and installs the application, and the notice that the application should send a push notification.
How can I do it? Do I have to insert something in the manifest?
If your app targets Android 13 (Tiramisu) or higher, you must declare the POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission as follows:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS"/>
For more details, see the Notification runtime permission page in the Android Developers documentation.
Here's the answer to new update: In API 33 we need runtime permission for push notification: Full documentation is available here but you can simply use like below :
in app level:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS"/>
you can trigger the prompt using this:
pushNotificationPermissionLauncher.launch(Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS)
handle notification result:
private val pushNotificationPermissionLauncher = registerForActivityResult(RequestPermission()) { granted ->
viewModel.inputs.onTurnOnNotificationsClicked(granted)
}
