An implementation of the Web Notifications API for end-user notifications. The Local Notification plugin gives developers the ability to post notifications from their app that show up in the device’s notification area. The API for the local notification plugin follows the W3C Web Notifications specification.
- iOS
- Android
After you have built your project, install the plugin in your project location:
$ phonegap plugin add phonegap-plugin-local-notification
(or)
$ cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-local-notification
Please read through the full API documentation here. To show a new local notification add this code to your application’s JavaScript:
if (“Notification” in window) {
Notification.requestPermission(function (permission) {
// If the user accepts, let’s create a notification
if (permission === ‘granted’) {
var notification = new Notification(“My title”, {
tag: ‘message1’,
body: “My body”
});
notification.onshow = function() { console.log(‘show’); };
notification.onclose = function() { console.log(‘close’); };
notification.onclick = function() { console.log(‘click’); };
}
});
}To close a local notification make this call in your application’s JavaScript:
notification.close();- iOS requires that you specify the body for the notification. Without a title and a body the notification will not be shown.
