capacitor-fullscreen-notification

This plugin can automatically launch your app, triggered by a data push notification by the @capacitor/push-notifications plugin.

Use case example: Someone rings your doorbell -> your app opens and navigates to a specific route

Supported platforms

Platform Supported
Android
iOS
Web

Install

npm install capacitor-fullscreen-notification
npx cap sync android

Add this to the activity inside your AndroidManifest.xml:

android:showWhenLocked="true"
android:turnScreenOn="true"

Android behavior

The Android OS differs between an locked and unlocked device.

Locked

The app will only be launched instantly, when your device is in standby.

Unlocked

If your device is not in standby, you will get a default heads up notification with the defined title, text and actionButtons. When you click on it, the app will launch.

HINT
To identify if the app has been launched instantly or by clicking the heads up notification, you can check the property 'isNotificationActive' in the response data of your 'launch' listener. This is true on instant launch.

HINT: Android 14 and above
Starting with Android 14, the full screen intent permission must be granted manually by the user after each update, if the app does not provide calling and alarm functionalities.
More info: https://source.android.com/docs/core/permissions/fsi-limits

This plugin will start a fullscreen intent by a local notification, when it receives a specific data push notification.

In your app, you can listen to the launch of the application. This event is fired when the fullscreen notification opens or the heads up notification is clicked. You can also cancel the active notification, if it exists:

import { FullScreenNotification } from 'capacitor-fullscreen-notification';

FullScreenNotification.addListener('launch', (data) => {
    ...
});

...

await FullScreenNotification.cancelNotification();

Inside the data of the launch event, you can have the following data:

Prop Type Description
fullScreenId string Identifier of the triggering request
isNotificationActive boolean Is the notification still active
timeout number (Optionally) Timeout value of the triggering request
actionId string (Optionally) Idenfifier of the clicked action button
