How can i check push notification permission for both ios and android in react native?

Question

I want to check push notification permission for both ios and android. I want to see if user has switched off the push notification permission from his device settings. Is there any plugin or any code i can take reference from if needed to be coded in native.

Answer 1

You can check react-native-permissions npm. After integrating you can use it like:

componentDidMount() {
  Permissions.check('notification').then(response => {
    // Response is one of: 'authorized', 'denied', 'restricted', or 'undetermined'
    this.setState({ photoPermission: response })
  })
}

There is another library that can help (I have not used it).

There is also native implementation for as suggested here.

});

Android:

Actually the Push Notification permission lie in Normal Category Permission like INTERNET permission not in Dangerous Category Permission.

You don't have to ask for Push Notification permissions.

Answer 4

You can use Notifee Library package to request for notification permission for both (ios and android) and also you can check the permission status but i don't think there is a package which states whether permission is switched off by user.
