Possibility to supress notification while app is in foreground

[swey]

Does the React Native SDK have any possibility to suppress notifications (based on category) while the app is in foreground or do you have plans for implementing that to the React Native SDK?

Something like:

Notifications.setNotificationHandler({
		handleNotification: async (notification: Notification): Promise<NotificationBehavior> => {
			return {
						shouldShowAlert: false,
						shouldPlaySound: false,
						shouldSetBadge: false
					};
		});
});

Thank you in advance!

Hi @swey thanks for the proposal, that is a great idea. We will work on this within soon and update you here, once it's implemented.

We added the method setShowNotificationsInForeground in version 1.7.5 of the SDK.
The dynamic handler like in your proposal will be added in future versions of the SDK.

Hi @gbhrdt,
sorry for the delayed response. I finally have time to finalize my work here.

I can confirm that the new method suppresses all notifications while the app is in foreground.

For a future version it would be helpful to have a callback function to make this decision for every single notification, e.g. if you only want to suppress notifications of a specific type.

Thank you!

Thanks for confirming @swey ! I'll keep this issue open until the callback is implemented.

On Android the notifications will be hidden in background as well when using setShowNotificationsInForeground(false).
They only appear when the app is force closed.

@swey Thanks for your feedback, this is fixed by #23.
