Official Mobile Notification Package

On Android, two remarks:

Firstly with onSentNotification in AndroidNotificationCenter.cs, some fields in AndroidNotification aren't assigned like intentData, smallIcon, ...

Code (CSharp):

1. public void onSentNotification(AndroidJavaObject notificationIntent)
2.             {              
3.                 var notification = new AndroidNotification();
4.  
5.                 var id = notificationIntent.Call<int>("getIntExtra", "id", -1);
6.                 var channel = notificationIntent.Call<string>("getStringExtra", "channelID");
7.                 notification.title = notificationIntent.Call<string>("getStringExtra", "textTitle");
8.                 notification.text = notificationIntent.Call<string>("getStringExtra", "textContent");
9.                 notification.shouldAutoCancel = notificationIntent.Call<bool>("getBooleanExtra", "autoCancel", false);
10.                 notification.usesStopwatch =
11.                     notificationIntent.Call<bool>("getBooleanExtra", "usesChronometer", false);
12.                 notification.fireTime = notificationIntent.Call<long>("getLongExtra", "fireTime", -1L);
13.                 notification.repeatInterval = notificationIntent.Call<long>("getLongExtra", "repeatInterval", -1L);
14.                 notification.style = notificationIntent.Call<int>("getIntExtra", "style", -1);
15.                 notification.color = notificationIntent.Call<int>("getIntExtra", "color", -1);
16.                 notification.number = notificationIntent.Call<int>("getIntExtra", "number", -1);
17.  
18.                 OnNotificationReceived(id, notification, channel);
19.             }

Secondly with GetLastIntentData in AndroidNotificationCenter.cs, only data is retrieved from the intent. Isn't it possible to retrieve all the informations ? I tried it from my side and I didn't manage.

Code (CSharp):

1. public static string GetLastIntentData()
2.         {
3.            
4.             AndroidJavaClass UnityPlayer = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer");
5.             AndroidJavaObject currentActivity = UnityPlayer.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity");
6.             AndroidJavaObject intent = currentActivity.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getIntent");
7.                
8.             var data = intent.Call<string> ("getStringExtra", "data");
9.             return data;
10.         }

 

For now, you can't. The callback works only when game is already launched. Normally, it's planned in the next release.

 

oh, tks, but when I Export project android and build with android stuido then click notification not open game??

 

I think that you have the same issue than me. Do you have a CustomActivity that extends the UnityPlayerActivity in your AndroidManifest.xml ? I can't open the game anymore when I press on the notification if I use a custom activity.

 

Hi, I'm using your package and sometimes it send so many even that i clear all in every game start
So here is my code below to send notification.

Code (CSharp):

1.    public void SendNotification()
2.     {
3.         AndroidNotificationCenter.CancelAllDisplayedNotifications();
4.         AndroidNotificationCenter.CancelAllScheduledNotifications();
5.         AndroidNotificationCenter.CancelAllNotifications();
6.         var c = new AndroidNotificationChannel()
7.         {
8.             Id = "anahatirlatma",
9.             Name = "Default Channel",
10.             Importance = Importance.High,
11.             Description = "Generic notifications",
12.         };
13.  
14.         AndroidNotificationCenter.RegisterNotificationChannel(c);
15.         AndroidNotification[] androidNotifications = new AndroidNotification[7];
16.         for (int i = 0; i < androidNotifications.Length; i++)
17.         {
18.             androidNotifications[i].Title = LanguagesandStrings.current.bildirimbaslik;
19.             androidNotifications[i].Text = LanguagesandStrings.current.bildirimtext;
20.             androidNotifications[i].LargeIcon = "icon_0";
21.             androidNotifications[i].SmallIcon = "icon_1";
22.             androidNotifications[i].FireTime = System.DateTime.Now.AddHours((i + 1) * 24);
23.             AndroidNotificationCenter.SendNotification(androidNotifications[i], "anahatirlatma");
24.         }
25. }

 

From the tests I've done with package preview 13 (actually this preview is not available directly from the Unity Manager), if you don't exit the application and cancel all notifications through the supposed proper methods, it works. If you close the app and re-open it, no longer works. The only way I had to counter this problem was to save the id of each notification I made and cancel 1 by 1 using CancelNotification(Int32). Hope this helps anyone with this problem and that the developer can fix this in the next build.

 

Hello,

I'm testing this package on iOS 12 and it works well. Still, there are 2 bugs that bothers me:
- The local notification does not play any sound
- The local notification is not shown in foreground even with the ShowInForeground parameter set to true

Here is my notification code if you can help me with this one:

Code (CSharp):

1. var timeTrigger = new iOSNotificationTimeIntervalTrigger()
2.                 {
3.                     TimeInterval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 30),
4.                     Repeats = false
5.                 };
6.  
7.                 var notification = new iOSNotification()
8.                 {
9.                     Identifier = "mysuperid",
10.                     Title = "My Title",
11.                     Body = "My Body is ready",
12.                     ShowInForeground = true,
13.                     ForegroundPresentationOption = (PresentationOption.NotificationPresentationOptionAlert | PresentationOption.NotificationPresentationOptionSound),
14.                     Trigger = timeTrigger
15.                 };
16.  
17.                 iOSNotificationCenter.ScheduleNotification(notification);

I would like this notification to be displayed in foreground as it would be in background with a small banner popping from the top of the screen. Did I do something wrong or is it a bug?

Cheers!

 

@_Paulius this bug is still present in preview 13. Is it on your list to fix?

 

Paulius is there still multiple notifications error? Because this is happening when you quit game and restart it doesn't cancel previous set notifications. I posted my code it in here. If it is fixed in preview-17 i will release new update to my game.

 

Thanks for everything. I appreciate your work.

 

Hello Unity Technologies team. How can I make daily notifications that will be protected from restarting the device and will not be shown if the application is foreground.

 

The latest preview 17 crashes on iOS when I'm creating a new authorization request.
Before that, on preview 13, the authorization request would never have IsFinished set to true if you denied the notifications permission.

 

Hello,

Am I the only one to experience this issue each time I'm opening the mobile notifications settings panel?

It's happening for me on Mac OS X with Unity 2018.3.7 and Unity 2018.3.12.

This error prevents me from saving the iOS Push Notification setting that is reset every time.

 

It is fixed in preview 17. Thanks!

 

Hello. My game uses firebase cloud messaging for remote push notification and I followed the firebase setup instruction here to change my android's main activity to

Code (javascript):

1. <activity android:name="com.google.firebase.MessagingUnityPlayerActivity">

when I implemented local notification with this package, as @Nola_Totoc pointed out above, clicking on the notification would not open the game. Is there anyway to make them both work nicely together?

 

I got the same issue. I've fixed it by copying the whole package folder ( in *project_folder*/Library/PackageCache) to asset folder and change the activity to com.google.firebase.MessagingUnityPlayerActivity in method GetUnityActivity():

Code (JavaScript):

1. public static Class<?> GetUnityActivity()
2.     {
3.         String className = "com.google.firebase.MessagingUnityPlayerActivity";
4.         try
5.         {
6.             return Class.forName(className);
7.         }
8.         catch (ClassNotFoundException ignored) {}
9.         return null;
10.     }

 

Hi, Paulius!
Just FYI! We have faced pretty much the same error, @needforbleed was having:

E Unity : AndroidJavaException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: no static method with name='getNotificationManagerImpl' signature='(Landroid.app.Application;Lcom.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivityLjava/lang/Object;' in class Ljava.lang.Object;
04-19 11:44:44.282 18862 18882 E Unity : java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: no static method with name='getNotificationManagerImpl' signature='(Landroid.app.Application;Lcom.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivityLjava/lang/Object;' in class Ljava.lang.Object;
04-19 11:44:44.282 18862 18882 E Unity : at com.unity3d.player.ReflectionHelper.getMethodID(Unknown Source:167)

We've tracked compatibility issue with Proguard. The error above only appears if you enable Proguard either for Development or Release builds.

 

Notifications are not showing after device restart

Code (CSharp):

1. DateTime current = DateTime.Now;
2.         DateTime nextNotificationDate = current;
3.         nextNotificationDate = nextNotificationDate.AddDays(1);
4.         nextNotificationDate = nextNotificationDate.AddHours(19 - current.Hour);
5.         nextNotificationDate = nextNotificationDate.AddMinutes(55 - current.Minute);
6.  
7.         var notification = new AndroidNotification();
8.         notification.Title = title;
9.         notification.Text = message;
10.         notification.SmallIcon = "small";
11.         notification.LargeIcon = "large";
12.         notification.RepeatInterval = TimeSpan.FromDays(3);
13.         notification.FireTime = nextNotificationDate;
14.  
15.         AndroidNotificationCenter.SendNotification(notification, "channel_id");

 

I want to schedule notification when app is closed, this doesn't work, why?

(i have also tried without unity wrapper from github, with simple notification code from :
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.mobile.notifications@1.0/manual/index.html, but still doesn't works)

Code (CSharp):

1. private void OnApplicationQuit()
2.     {
3.                 _localNotificationManager.ScheduleNotification("TEST", "TEST", System.DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1));
4.     }

When i'm calling this my method in game (while game running) i'm getting notification on screen.


I have also tried to listen event Application.quitting, with this code example, again this not works!Why?

Code (CSharp):

1. Application.quitting += Application_quitting;
2.  
3. private void Application_quitting()
4.         {
5.             var notification = new AndroidNotification();
6.             notification.Title = "SomeTitle";
7.             notification.Text = "SomeText";
8.             notification.FireTime = System.DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(10);
9.  
10.             AndroidNotificationCenter.SendNotification(notification, "channel_id");
11.  
12.         }

I have also tried to send notification from OnDestroy() event, doesn't work. Only works if player is in game..But what is happening if i want to to schedule notification when user exit app?

Is this package tested?

 

I’m having some issues with the Android icons in 1.0.0-preview.17.

Every time Unity is opened, the notification settings are saying the icons cannot be used because of some reason. The reason is not shown in the error. Re-adding the icons gets rid of the error until Unity is closed and opened again.

The icons are also shown as grey squares on a device when the icons are defined in the settings. Moving the icons to Assets/Plugins/Android/res/drawable fixes this. I used names “small_icon” and “large_icon” in my code, in the settings, and even for the files themselves.

 

This package is working fine. You should try to do some researches first. OnApplicationQuit is not guaranteed to be called on mobile platforms. Shold use OnApplicationPause instead.

 

Hi, i cant seem to get it to work and the guide is not very detailed, i dont know if i should import the sample project to do it. Because when i try to write the scripts from the guide it cant find AndroidNotificationChannel for an example. But when i try to import the scripts from the sample project it says that i cant do it with version 4 C#? Can anybody help? (PS: I have tried to use the sample scene and it didn't work)

 

@_Paulius Im using Unity 2019.1.0f2, and i can see the Mobile Notifications folder in the sample scene project, but not in my main game(probably why i get errors).

 

@_Paulius Yeah that seems to do the job, now the guide gives a lot more sense. Thanks!

 

@_Paulius In the TUTORIAL says that I need to enable "Reschedule Notifications on Device Restart" but I just can't find this option in Edit->Project Settings->Mobile Notification Settings. Where is it for christ sake? I don't see this option here anywhere! lol

Can anyone help me to use the callback correctly? I just can't make it. I'm using the GitHub scripts (classes, interfaces and all). I want that when the user clicks the notification, the game goes to foreground and a method get called where the player earns 1 "point". I'm scheduling and receiving the notification, but not doing the callback. Right now (my last attempt) I have into the GameNotificationManager.OnNotificationReceived() a line at the end of the method's body calling a method from my GameManager.cs. No success at all...

And have I understood wrong or we still don't have a solution to the notification being sent when the game is totally closed?

Thank you and congrats for the fantastic job!

 

Hi unity devs!

Thank you for building this package, as it could help us purge our project of more bloating third-party tools.
Is there any plans for displaying notification statistics on the unity service dashboard or elsewhere?

 

We have the same problem @Nackwork has commented in this post, even if we don't enable proguard we still receive this native error on logcat:

We are using Unity 2018.3.12f1 and the last package version (1.0.0-preview.21).

I have seen here you're aware about that, @_Paulius do you have an estimation date for next version of the package?

Thanks!

 

Does this support custom SFX, and if not is it planned?

 

+1 for custom notification sounds!

 

@_Paulius Thanks for the awesome notification package and all the improvements!

I am also having a problem with the notification not opening the app on Android. Similar to @Nola_Totoc , I do have a custom activity. The device I'm testing on is a Samsung Galaxy S8 with Android 9. When I plug it into my computer and read the logs, I see this whenever I tap the notification:

Code (CSharp):

1. 04-30 15:06:37.737  1544  3602 I ActivityManager: START u0 {act=null typ=null flg=0x30000000 cmp=ComponentInfo{com.company.project/com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity}} from uid 10981
2. 04-30 15:06:37.738  1544  3602 D ActivityManager: Received ACTIVITY intent in key u0 {467c6b3 act=nullstartActivity cmp=ComponentInfo{com.company.project/com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity} res=-92} from uid 10006

(swapped to com.company.project)

 

@_Paulius, I export project android and build from android stuido, my game push notification but when I click, the game not open??

 

Hi @_Paulius! I faced some issue on iOS. Need to repeat local notification every week at an established time. (For example every Monday at 18:30). On android, this is easy to implement, we have FireTime (how much time we need until 18:30) and RepeatInterval

Code (CSharp):

1.  var n = new AndroidNotification();
2.   n.Title = notification.Message.Title;
3.   n.Text = notification.Message.Message;
4.   n.FireTime = notification.Time;
5.    n.RepeatInterval = notification.RepeatInterval;

But i didn't find FireTime iOS, only Trigger where we can set timeInterval or date when we should receive notification, and the Trigger Repeats property, which repeats notification only when timeInterval passes again or date matches.

Code (CSharp):

1. internalNotification.Trigger = new iOSNotificationCalendarTrigger
2.                 {
3.                     Year = date.Year,
4.                     Month = date.Month,
5.                     Day = date.Day,
6.                     Hour = date.Hour,
7.                     Minute = date.Minute,
8.                     Second = date.Second,
9.                     Repeats = true
10.                 };

or

Code (CSharp):

1.                 internalNotification.Trigger = new iOSNotificationTimeIntervalTrigger
2.                 {
3.                     TimeInterval = date.TimeOfDay,
4.                     Repeats = true
5.                 };

But in my case we should have different value for FireTime and RepeatInterval like on android. Have you any tips how to implement this on iOS, please?
Thanks!

 

What size or import settings does icons needs to be?
I have 256x256 for large and 88x88 for small, but they appears very blurry

 

Thanks for this package!

I do have a feature request, optionally specifying the notification ID on Android. Right now it seems iOSNotification takes an ID, but the Android equivalent isn't publicly exposed.

Use case: Overwriting notifications is much simpler if you can specify your own ID, because you don't need to save the ID of whatever notification you are overwriting (you just use the same ID for both).

 

Schedule Notif call is taking a performance hit if called in between gameplay (Not on pause) . Jitter on android if notifs are scheduled while user is playing. Any way to get rid of that?

 

Thank you for this package!

I got it working for Android pretty quickly. My main problem was the namespace (using Unity.Notifications.Android wouldn't work after importing the package. After restarting Unity and IDE it worked fine.

NOTE TO ANYONE INSTALLING, RESET UNITY AND IDE AFTER IMPORTING PACKAGE!

This is for all the other noobs like myself out there. I actually learned this from someone else who had the same problem.

Cheers! And fear the deers!

 

Hello, I am setting the "ShowInForeground = false" but I still receive notifications while I play my game.

Code (CSharp):

1.  var notification = new iOSNotification()
2.             {
3.                 Title = title,
4.                 Body = bodyText,
5.                 Subtitle = "",
6.                 ShowInForeground = false,
7.                 CategoryIdentifier = "category_a",
8.                 ThreadIdentifier = "thread1",
9.                 Trigger = timeTrigger,
10.             };
11.  
12.             iOSNotificationCenter.ScheduleNotification(notification);

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

P.S.
version: 1.0.0 - preview 14a

 

@_Paulius, any updates on a release with a fix for the proguard issue? If that's not going to be soon, is there a workaround other than not using proguard?

 

Hello ! I'm using Unity 2019.1.0f2 and the preview 21 of the package. In my android build, when I schedule a notification, if I let the app open the notification appear but if I close the application the notification never appear. Do you have any ideas?

 

@_Paulius I'm using a Honor 10. When the app is in front I have the notification. When it's closed the notification don't appear. When it's in background it also doesn't appear.
