Official Mobile Notification Package

Submitted Bug Id: 1251504

 

Ah, okay. This crash has been fixed since 1.1.0-preview. Could you please update the package to the latest version and verify it again?

 

I am using Unity 2019.3.15f1 and Mobile Notifications Package 1.2.1. I want to locally set the iOS app badge count while the app is running (so when I leave it it reflects the number of still open games). I am using this code:

Code (CSharp):

1. var notification = new Unity.Notifications.iOS.iOSNotification()
2. {
3.     ShowInForeground = true,
4.     ForegroundPresentationOption = Unity.Notifications.iOS.PresentationOption.Badge,
5.     Badge = count,
6.     Trigger = new Unity.Notifications.iOS.iOSNotificationTimeIntervalTrigger()
7.        { TimeInterval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 200), Repeats = false }
8. };
9.  
10. Unity.Notifications.iOS.iOSNotificationCenter.ScheduleNotification(notification);

which works, but it takes a few minutes until the badge is actually updated, and it is done with a notification sound (though I didn't allow that with the presentation options set above). Is there any other way (or a setting I missed) to set it more timely (read: instantly) and w/o any additional sound? Like when just clearing the badge, which works immediately and silently?

EDIT:
Maybe I was just thinking too complicated ;-)
Looking through the Github repo of the Mobile Notification Package source, I found

Code (CSharp):

1. Unity.Notifications.iOS.iOSNotificationCenter.ApplicationBadge = count;

which seems to nicely do the job

 

Hi, what is the recommended way to detect if notifications are allowed or not in app? We want to send some analytics up to see whether the user has declined notifications or not. We're trying to get the status of 'show notifications' for the app in the O/S but wondering if there was something for this in the package.

This is for Android.
We're on 1.0.4 and 2019.3.15

thnx

Will you return on time in your case?
I need your response, thank you very much.

my case Example:
I set someday/18:30:00
but Notification time is someday/18:30:12

 

and other error
I set Reschedule on Device Restart true
but restart device Notification not work

 

Could you please provide more info? Are you on Android or iOS? Are you setting repeatable or one-time notification?

 

Could you please make a bug report?

 

Hello, it was said previously in this thread that:
"you don't need to enable remote or push notifications to send local notifications, if you don't enable remote notifications in "Project Settings -> Mobile Notifications" your app should no longer require the Push Notification Entitlement."

But the app store is giving us the message:
"ITMS-90078: Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears to register with the Apple Push Notification service, but the app signature's entitlements do not include the "aps-environment" entitlement."

As you can see in my attached screenshot we do not use push notifications, so how come we are getting this message?

Mobile Notifications 1.2.1
Unity 2019.2.17f1

Thanks

 

Notifications 1.2.1
Android /Unity 2018.4.10 LTS
Not on time happened to repeatable and one-time

 

On Android, we have to use AlarmManager to achieve the repeatale and time interval notifications.

• For repeatable, AlarmManager.setInexactRepeating is used. You may ask why not using AlarmManager.setRepeating, according to the doc "as of API 19, all repeating alarms are inexact.". so repeatable notifications are not exact anyway.
• For one-time, AlarmManager.set is used in our package, according to the doc " Beginning in API 19, the trigger time passed to this method is treated as inexact: the alarm will not be delivered before this time, but may be deferred and delivered some time later." The reason why we don't use AlarmManager.setExact is "Applications are strongly discouraged from using exact alarms unnecessarily as they reduce the OS's ability to minimize battery use."

Can I ask why you need the time to be exact?

 

Could you please make a bug report? Thanks.

 

In my project, there is a calendar alarm function, which needs to remind users on time.
My partner say this Notification exact time.why not try that?
so if i need exact time to work,I need to find other solution?

Many thanks！

Yes, the Notification at Android side notifies the notification immediately once you call NotificationManager.notify(). We use it internally as well, just we use the AlarmManager to decide when to call it.

Do you think providing that API to trigger a notification (we can call it immediate mode notification) will help here? As you have to handle the timing to trigger by yourself.

 

I am currently trying to achieve the location-trigger functionality on iOS with this setup:

- Unity-Editor: 2019.3.13f
- mobile-notification package: 1.3.0
- Test devices: iPad Pro (iOS 13.5) as well as several xcode simulator devices
Permissions:
- Push Notifactions are requested and allowed
- Core Location Service requested and running with the "When in use" Permission

Investigations

- PushNotifications are triggered in foreground and background usage when using the timer based trigger. So far so good....
- Using the geofence-trigger notifications are not firing. I tried some coordinates/radius combinations with a real device first.
- As this was not successfull i created a little project which is running in the xCode-DeviceSimulator. The GPS-Coordinates are updated with the "City-Run" debug mode. But the trigger is not firing ....
- There are no errors in the debug console indicating something is going wrong

Attached: Screenshots of Unity Settings as well as the App-Settings on iOS

i would really appreciate to get some ideas what possibly could go wrong while using the GeoFence trigger feature

 

Could you please make a bug report about the location trigger not working issue? Thanks.

 

thx!

opened Case 1254664

 

Hi there, I was trying the mobile notification for both iOS and Android. And I found that the notification was not show up on Android when the app was closed.

I read the FAQ and know that because of the battery saver tech, most of the apps need to whitelist by the user to enable the notification when app is closed. But ask user to whitelist app at battery setting is not user friendly and as I know most of user find it difficult to whitelist a app.

So I wonder, is there any chance that Unity will provide some options that can help workaround this issue? Like create a Sticky Service on android?

Thanks a lot

This bug https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...ompiling-a-struct-with-a-long-array-inside-it has been fixed in 2019.2.6f1, but your version is 2019.2.2f1.

But we should have been updated the minimal version requirement for the package, will do that.

 

Hi Vincent,
thank you for the reply.Actually Package version 1.0.4 preview9 worked with Unity 2019.2.2f1.
Anyway adding the minimal version would be great
Regards

 

hi @Vincent-Zhang ,
I tried latest 1.3.0 package with Unity 2019.4.1f1 LTS.For Android pie
1) Notification is showing but the icon is just a grey square.I have provided the notification icon in the editor(Mobile notifications bar in project settings).
2) Also the notifications are not cleared when clicking them

Any workaround/solution to this?
Regards

 

#1, did you notice any warnings or errors? If not, please open a bug report with repro project, thanks.
#2, You can set AndroidNotification.ShouldAutoCancel to true.

 

Yes, 1.0.4 preview9 did work with Unity 2019.2.2f1 as there's a workaround to fix this issue at package side. We removed the workaround in the new release as the fix at unity engine side is in 2019.2.6f1.
Again, we definitely should have added the minimal version, my bad.

 

has anyone managed to get the location trigger firing on iOS? Bugreport 1254664 still untouched -_- (more infos in post https://forum.unity.com/threads/mobile-notification-preview-package.620227/page-9#post-5957039)

 

#1 didn't notice any warning or error..Will double check..(Tried it in Xiaomi phone..Will that be a problem?)
#2 How to set that?..In code itself ??

 

Just checked the bug status, it's still queued at QA side, will ping them about it.

 

Yes, in the code where you create an AndroidNotification.

 

Hello,

I'm using Mobile Notifications version 1.3.0 and I'm getting the following error:

Code (CSharp):

1. E/Unity: AndroidJavaException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: no static method with name='getNotificationManagerImpl' signature='(Landroid.app.Application;Lcom.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity;)Ljava/lang/Object;' in class Ljava.lang.Object;
2.     java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: no static method with name='getNotificationManagerImpl' signature='(Landroid.app.Application;Lcom.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity;)Ljava/lang/Object;' in class Ljava.lang.Object;

And here is my code:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public void CreateNotificationChannel()
2.     {
3.         /// Create Default Notification Channel.
4.         defaultNotificationChannel = new AndroidNotificationChannel()
5.         {
6.             Id = "default_channel",
7.             Name = "Default Channel",
8.             Description = "For Generic notifications",
9.             Importance = Importance.Default,
10.         };
11.  
12.         /// Register Notification Channel we just created.
13.         AndroidNotificationCenter.RegisterNotificationChannel(defaultNotificationChannel);
14.     }
15.  
16.     public void SendNotification()
17.     {
18.         /// Schedule simple Text notification.
19.         AndroidNotification notification = new AndroidNotification()
20.         {
21.             Title = "Test Notification",
22.             Text = "This is a test notification!",
23.             //SmallIcon = "app_icon_small",
24.             //LargeIcon = "app_icon_large",
25.             FireTime = System.DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(10),
26.         };
27.  
28.         /// Send notification to the Notification Channel we created above.
29.         identifier = AndroidNotificationCenter.SendNotification(notification, "default_channel");
30.  
31.     }

Tested on Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - Android 8 and Xiaomi Mi 5 Phone Android 8.

Any ideas?

 

We are seeing the same, on 2019.3.15 and Mobile Notifications 1.3.0

We have gone through our own proguard to check - adding this seemed to fix it

-keep class com.unity.androidnotifications.** { *;}
-keepclassmembers class com.unity.androidnotifications.** { *;}
-keepnames class com.unity.androidnotifications.** { *;}
-keepclassmembernames class com.unity.androidnotifications.** { *;}

This was found in the NotificationSamples forum on gitHub

thnx

 

I didn't have pro-guard file! So creating one like you suggested worked.

Thank you.

 

Hello, there is a conflict between Braze sdk and Unity Mobile Notifications package
With a clean install of Braze, everything works well
Pushes come events that push notifications are delivered to Unity

The problem is that when the Unity Mobile Notifications package is connected, Braze messages in the Unity that the remote push notifications have been delivered stop working
A small investigation showed that after connecting Unity Mobile Notifications methods from the AppboyUnityManager.mm class are no longer called didReceiveRemoteNotification

Application logic, analytics, metrics are based on this functionality.
Need help solving this issue.

Thank you.

 

Hello! I need to add tablets support. I have one small icon and a lot of large icons in Settings. After export project have:

• drawable-hdpi-v11
• drawable-ldpi-v11
• drawable-mdpi-v11
• drawable-xhdpi-v11
• drawable-xxhdpi-v11 (without small icon).

Where is xxxhdpi folder and why xxhdpi folder without small icon, and last question why folders have names with v11?

 

Hello,
Our plugin is based on notification asset from Unity. Official documentation can be found here:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.mobile.notifications@1.3/manual/index.html
Our asset is not offering any more functionality than the Unity one does so we cannot help you. Please address your question to Unity support since you need backend functionality.
You can always ask for a refund by send us an email at gley.mobi@gmail.com

 

Hi there!
am using this package to my game. We have a requirement that is, display all delevered notification in the app.
I mean i sheduled some notification while the app is running. think like it is deliverd (even the app is closed also), and i have button. when user clicks on this button i need to show all deleverd notification in a menu. how can i do that.

 

For android, I would like to be able to execute certain custom behaviors when launching the app through various notifications. I was thinking when scheduling a notification, I'd update the IntentData of the AndroidNotification upon scheduling it.

However in 1.3, I see in AndroidGameNotification, get/set for IntentData does not exist. I was wondering, is this on purpose? If so, could anyone explain why and how I might achieve my goal above?

 

Hi, @Vincent-Zhang
When do you think we will be able to use custom notification background images on Android? It would be a very nice addition to the package.
Below is one such notification sent from the game Hitmasters.

 

I really really want that, too.

Since we're talking about that, does anyone know how to do that via Unity (not neccessarily with the Notification Package)?

 

Hello, can i know why UnityNotificationData.m, UnityNotificationManager.m and UnityNotificationWrapper.m is included in tvOS platform when tvOS don't support notification. And it is causing xcode to have build failure.

Is it tested that its working on tvOS?

 

Hello! I try to make a simple notification for Android based on documentation:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. var notification = new AndroidNotification();
3. notification.Title = "Your Title";
4. notification.Text = "Your Text";
5. notification.FireTime = System.DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1);
6. AndroidNotificationCenter.SendNotification(notification, "channel_id");
7.  

Everything works. But once I add the interval property, the notification won't show:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. notification.RepeatInterval = new TimeSpan(0, 2, 0);
3.  

Please advice.

 

I'm getting a crash on iOS when trying to schedule a local notification with either a null body or null title field.

The code responsible is here:

This happens in push notifications package 1.3.0 and 1.0.3, and I'll have a guess that it happens in all the others as well.

You need to check that title and body are not null before doing this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  NSString* title = [NSString localizedUserNotificationStringForKey: [NSString stringWithUTF8String: data->title] arguments: nil];
3.  

in the file UnityNotificationManager.m, like you do with the other fields.

Sending a notification with a null body or title is desirable as sending a blank empty string title results in a local push notification with a gap where the title would be and it looks odd.


Bug logged:
Case 1276575


Because this is a package I can't just change the code. It seems that occasionally the packages refresh or something and the change i make gets reverted. Is there a way i can stop that somehow?


Edit: I tried it all again from the beginning and this time making a push with an empty string as the title didn't leave a gap on the notification so i'm not sure what was happening there. Still a null passed to notification services shouldn't crash the app.

 

Me again:

I found the whitespace title bug mentioned earlier happens if you need to reschedule notifications. I do this to change badge numbers.

The bug happens because the iOSNotification gets initialised with " " white space so if you schedule a notification with and empty or null string it gets replaced with this white space if you need to get and then reschedule the notification.

Changing the initialisation from:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. + (void)InitiOSNotificationData : (iOSNotificationData*) notificationData;
3. {
4.     notificationData -> title = " ";
5.     notificationData -> body = " ";
6.     notificationData -> badge = 0;
7.     notificationData -> subtitle = " ";
8.     notificationData -> categoryIdentifier = " ";
9.     notificationData -> threadIdentifier = " ";
10.     notificationData -> triggerType = PUSH_TRIGGER;
11.     notificationData -> data = " ";
12. }
13.  

to:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. + (void)InitiOSNotificationData : (iOSNotificationData*) notificationData;
3. {
4.     notificationData -> title = "";
5.     notificationData -> body = "";
6.     notificationData -> badge = 0;
7.     notificationData -> subtitle = "";
8.     notificationData -> categoryIdentifier = "";
9.     notificationData -> threadIdentifier = "";
10.     notificationData -> triggerType = PUSH_TRIGGER;
11.     notificationData -> data = "";
12. }
13.  

fixed the issue...

However I'm now wondering if this will create other bugs on different iOS version.

the other way to fix it would be to remove the length > 0 checks when creating iOSNotificationDatas

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if (content.title != nil && content.title.length > 0)
3.  

I think an empty string should be valid data for title and body.


Here's a couple screenshots to illustrate the bug. On the left is with my fix removing whitespace. On the right is the current behaviour of the notifications package.

 

Hi! We have problem using 1.3.0 package and Unity 2019.4.0.

Often AndroidNotificationPostProcessor and iOSNotificationPostProcessor are not called when building application. So ios build fails, because capabilities are not added to xCode project. On Android, manifest doesnt contain receivers for notifications.

This problem can be easily reproduced if you delete Library folder and perform clean build. Also in our project we have assembly definition, that contains references to Unity.Notifications.Android and Unity.Notification.iOS assemblies, maybe this somehow connected with the problem

 

Hey guys, anyone knows how to clear the

AndroidNotificationCenter.GetLastNotificationIntent()

.

I made a notification for opening a browser link, it works perfectly the first time, I get the link from intentData and call Application.OpenURL with it.
But when I close the browser and reopen my app, the GetLastNotificationIntent() returns the same notification (previously opened). And because of it my code runs again opening the browser every time I open my app.

Calling

AndroidNotificationCenter.CancelNotification(id);

changes nothing.

 

May be useful to anyone, but be careful. (package 1.3.0)
How to remove title in notifications:
iOS: just send "" (empty string) to title (and read the messages above from Antony)
Android: send null to title (It removed first line for androids API >= 24) (plugin code : setContentTitle(null))

 

Hi there,

How do i check if notification permission is previously granted so i can set the status on switch control? (without asking for permission dialog)

Please advise

 

On Android, I can check if channel notifications are allowed using AndroidNotificationCenter.GetNotificationChannel(channel_id).Enabled, but how do I check if app notifications are allowed? When I disable notifications for the app, NotificationChannel continues to return Enabled==true

 

Same question , +1

 

i used custom-write plugin (aar) with 1 method to check app notifications for android and it's strange that this method is not in this package.
