Breaking changes

• (Android) Channel Management: In order to limit the scope of responsability of this library, developers are now responsible of the creation of the channels. You can find the documentation at https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification#channel-management-android. These changes are also made to allow improvements in the future of the library. Here the list of impacts:
  • You must create your channels before triggering a notification.
  • These entries in AndroidManifest are deprecated:

        <meta-data android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_name" android:value="..."/>
        <meta-data android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_description" android:value="..."/>
        <meta-data android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.channel_create_default" android:value="..."/>

  • Followings options changed on Android in localNotification and localNotificationSchedule:
    • channelId becomes mandatory (warning if not provided)
    • channelName is deprecated
    • channelDescription is deprecated
    • importance is deprecated
  • These changes help to avoid an issue #1649
• (Android) Remove check for the intent BOOT_COMPLETED, this should allow more intent action such as QUICKBOOT_POWERON. It's recommended to update AndroidManifest, the RNPushNotificationBootEventReceiver to:

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
                <action android:name="com.htc.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON"/>
            </intent-filter>
