I just need to set up a notification that reminds users everyday(at the same time)

Hey, I would like to add push notifications to my app, and I think Itoo is the best option for that. I just need to set up a notification that reminds users everyday(at the same time) to check the app for today's schedule. Since I'm new to this, any help would be really appreciated.

You will need an alarmmanager extension for rhis

just for push notifications?

this uses push notifications but doesnt use an alarm. Chat with push notification (CloudDB and Itoo) .Also i was thinking of using a combination of Itoo and Notification Style.

5

You need something, which triggers the notification at the alarm time... for this purpose you need an alarmmanager

So if i used your extension and notification style i could achieve this?

7

only the alarmmanager extension will do it
you will not have to use additionally the notification style extension

Does it allow changing notification icon, large icon, etc... Also, does it allow publishing on the Play Store?

9

yes and yes
concerning "etc" I do not know, what you are talking about... what about reading the details on my webpage?

Would you consider this method of sending push notifications superior to FCM or OneSignal?

11

It will work without internet connection, as everything is locally

For this use case the alarmmanager is perfect
For other use cases other solutions might fit better

Can I send notifications at the same local time across different time zones, such as 10 AM in England and 10 AM in the US? Additionally, is it possible to enable or disable notifications from my app using CustomWebView? I frequently use console logs to facilitate interactions between the page and the app.

Alarm Manager sets alarm according to phone's timezone. So yes, alarm will be triggered at same local time. Have you not set an alarm using default Clock app?

No, webview does not have notification api. Web Browsers use their own implementation of WebView to send push notifications.

14

i mean, is it possible for the app user to set notification time from CustomWebView? By using OnConsoleMessage event i controlled different things such as activity starter.

15

There is OnConsoleMessage block in CustomWebView.

16

So it would only be good for reminders, i wouldn't be able to send unplanned notifications once in a while, am i right?

17

what exactly is an unplanned notification?
how should that be triggered?

the alarmmanager extension sends notification at a specific time
it does not look like you read the documentation
