Getting Started

Installation

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  easy_notifications: ^1.2.5

Platform Setup

Android

Add the following permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS"/>

This plugin depends on flutter_local_notifications, which requires Android core library desugaring. Add this to your app's android/app/build.gradle.kts:

android {
  //...
  compileOptions {
    isCoreLibraryDesugaringEnabled = true
  }
}

dependencies {
  coreLibraryDesugaring("com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs:2.1.4")
}

(build.gradle instead of build.gradle.kts? See the Android docs for the Groovy syntax.)

iOS

Add the following keys to your Info.plist:

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
    <string>fetch</string>
    <string>remote-notification</string>
</array>

Web

To enable web notifications, you need to add the following script to your index.html file:

<script>
  if ('Notification' in window) {
    Notification.requestPermission().then(permission => {
      if (permission === 'granted') {
        console.log('Notification permission granted.');
      }
    });
  }
</script>

Basic Usage

// Initialize the plugin
await EasyNotifications.init();

// Show a simple notification
await EasyNotifications.show(
  title: 'Hello!',
  body: 'This is a notification',
);

// Show notification with image and custom style
await EasyNotifications.show(
  title: 'Styled Notification',
  body: 'With custom appearance',
  style: NotificationStyle(
    backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
    titleColor: '#000000',
    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16),
  ),
);

// Schedule a notification
await EasyNotifications.schedule(
  title: 'Reminder',
  body: 'Time for your meeting!',
  scheduledDate: DateTime.now().add(Duration(hours: 1)),
);

Usage

EasyNotifications.showMessage(
  title: 'New Message',
  body: 'You have a new notification',
  id: 1001, // Optional custom ID
);
