React Native Local Push Notifications Tutorial

Learn how to perform React Native Local Push Notifications as well as Scheduled Push Notifications.

Local Push Notifications and Scheduled Push Notifications using the react-native-push-notification library requires a number of steps to get up and running. In this guide, we will take a look at how to setup react-native to run the local notifications as well as making sure all the dependencies are set up and configured for both iOS and Android.

I have also done a video on remote push notifications using react native if you want to see how that's done:

During hot development process, your calm tone helps to feel that the world is not over and life just goes on in a natural manner. By the way, your videos are great!

Finally someone who describes it with voice and details !

I am a bit confused. You have been running this mostly in console, is it possible to integrate it as a component and run it whenever it is being called?

Hey how are you? Question: what happened when I double click the push notification? Does it open the app automatically or do I have to do something?

[nathanguedes]

Nice video thank you very much . N I ve a question if you can help. Don't we ve to run some kind of function on some interval to hit the api to see if any new notifications has been recorded?? +Can it be triggered if application is not running?

[NehaGupta-muhu]

Push notifications not coming when create release mode build, any quick fix please?

[SalomDunyoIT]

[roohalmahaba]

have question from where the folder android come from? Because I have my react native app without it and there is no gradle file, I am using expo, how I can have these files that you have ??

Hi Adrian, really like your videos! But what bothers me is you sometime says stuff like: "Copy all this, except this..., cause we don't need that." It might be because you don't know, but would it be possible for you to explain why we aren't copying it all? Would help developers (my self atleast) to understand why we aren't taking it all.
Thank you!

Hi Adrian, Thanks for posting this video but I have one question on the scheduled notification. What about if we want a notification to be triggered at, let say 5 PM in the evening. What are the changes required to set the timings of the notification? Any help would be appreciated.

I get the error: "default firebaseapp is not initialized in this process" despite me trying to use local push notifications only. I thought local push notificatinos don't need firebase?

[josephsaunders]

Hey great video! One question, after accidently not running the PushNotification.configure() it worked completely fine, but once I ran the configure I got the FirebaseApp is not initialized error (no solution found after many hours). Do I have to run the configuration or does everything work without it?

[Aleweslei]

very good, I have a question, is it possible to trigger local notification in the background with react native?

[ramicesmoises]

Witch version of the react native are you using? And the push notification lib version? And the nodejs?

[captaingrimm]
