Local Notifications not working on Android Oreo (target SDK 26)

[rhysgoehring]

Problem: Notifications are working fine on iOS, but when I run the app on my Android device with Oreo I get no notifications and the following error in my logs:

12-08 13:19:23.423 4324 26687 E NotificationService: No Channel found for pkg=com.saferackexample, channelId=null, id=1222192301, tag=null, opPkg=com.saferackexample, callingUid=10196, userId=0, incomingUserId=0, notificationUid=10196, notification=Notification(channel=null pri=1 contentView=null vibrate=[0,300] sound=content://settings/system/notification_sound defaults=0x4 flags=0x10 color=0x00000000 category=call vis=PRIVATE)

compileSdkVersion:` 26,
buildToolsVersion: 26.0.02,

build.gradle dependencies:

dependencies {
    compile project(':react-native-push-notification')
    compile(project(':react-native-maps')){
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
      }
    compile project(':react-native-background-geolocation')
    compile(name: 'tslocationmanager', ext: 'aar')
    compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0"
    compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
    
    compile ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.6.0") {
        force = true;
    }
    compile ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.6.0") {
        force = true;
    }
    compile ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:11.6.0") {
        force = true;
    }
    compile ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.6.0") {
        force = true;
    }
}

I installed the package exactly as described in the repo and I'm only looking to use local notifications in my app. Has anyone come across this or have a possible solution?

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Same here. I hope react-native developers will release a own android notification library soon.

[dlimx]

I have forked this library adding this:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.+'

in react-native-push-notification/android/build.gradle

and

NotificationCompat.Builder notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, "channelId")

NotificationManager notificationManager = notificationManager();

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
  int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;

  NotificationChannel notificationChannel = new NotificationChannel("quartermaster", "quartermaster", importance);
  notificationChannel.enableLights(true);
  notificationChannel.setLightColor(Color.RED);
  notificationChannel.enableVibration(true);
  notificationChannel.setVibrationPattern(new long[]{100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 400, 300, 200, 400});
  notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
}

both in react-native-push-notification/android/src/main/java/com/dieam/reactnativepushnotification/modules/RNPushNotificationHelper.java

Unfortunately I have badges working - but the intents aren't working fully.

@dlimx Have you had any luck getting your fork to work for local notifications on Oreo?

[dlimx]

@rhysgoehring I simply disabled the service for the time being to prevent crashes... unfortunately not in a state where I can refactor or really fork the library :(

For anyone else struggling with this. I got around this issue by downgrade my target sdk version to 25. Not ideal but works until a proper fix is merged in.

In app/build.gradle

...
targetSdkVersion 25
...

Same issue.. +1

Anyone was able to resolve this issue? I have a problem with Android Oreo, all other devices work except Android Oreo .. (this is Android Studio logcat attached, I am using target SDK 26)

[piu130]

This PR should fix the problem. You can also change targetSdkVersion to 25 as mentioned above.

thanks @piu130 with #657 update, I am able to receive notifications, but app crashes upon receiving notifications. I tested this when app is closed. any resolution on that?

[Stevespear426]

Same issue here. Any update on when this PR is going in?

[wregis]

Well, after RN 0.56 release it seems even more important for this lib to have proper support for SDK 26+.

[Gp2mv3]

PR #657 was merged some days ago. Can you check it's working well on Oreo by using the package from github directly ?
We will release a npm package when we are sure it's working well for everyone.

@Gp2mv3 Hi, I installed the package directly from github repo but it still didn't work as expected on Oreo with targetSDK 27. Workaround was to set gradle property DEFAULT_COMPILE_SDK_VERSION in react-native-push-notification module build.gradle like this (note the DEFAULT_COMPILE_SDK_VERSION):

def DEFAULT_COMPILE_SDK_VERSION = 27
def DEFAULT_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION = "23.0.1"
def DEFAULT_TARGET_SDK_VERSION = 23
def DEFAULT_SUPPORT_LIB_VERSION = "23.1.1"
def DEFAULT_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = "+"
