Local Notification Plugin for PhoneGap 2.x.x

Tested on PhoneGap 2.6.0, 2.7.0, 2.8.1

Originally forked from https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/Android/LocalNotification

You have to have Android Support Library, as it provides the best notification support for a wide range of platforms:

• Right click on your project, select Android Tools, choose Add Support Library (on Eclipse).

Readme

To use this plugin, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Copy src/javascript/LocalNotification.js file to your www folder and include it in your index.html
2. Create a package com.bicrement.plugins.localNotification in your src folder
3. Copy all src/java/*.java files into this package
4. Modify the following in AlarmReceiver.java:

• Change YourClass.class on line 73 to your class where the intent will be called.
• Reference R.drawable.ic_launcher on line 79 to your own icon.

5. Update your res/xml/config.xml file, include the following line within the plugins tag:

<plugin name="LocalNotification" value="com.bicrement.plugins.localNotification.LocalNotification" />

6. Add the following fragment in your AndroidManifest.xml:

• Add android:launchMode="singleTop" attribute to your activity tag.
• Add the following lines just before the application tag closes:

<receiver android:name="com.bicrement.plugins.localNotification.AlarmReceiver" >
</receiver>

<receiver android:name="com.bicrement.plugins.localNotification.AlarmRestoreOnBoot" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

The first part tells Android to launch the AlarmReceiver class when the alarm is be triggered. This will also work when the application is not running.

The second part restores all added alarms upon device reboot (because Android 'forgets' all alarms after a restart).

7. The following piece of code is a minimal example in which you can test the notification:

<script type="text/javascript">
var notification = cordova.require("cordova/plugin/localNotification")

document.addEventListener("deviceready", appReady, false);

function appReady() {
    console.log("Device ready");

    notification.add({
        id: 1,
        date: new Date(),
        message: "Phonegap - Local Notification",
        subtitle: "Subtitle is here",
        ticker: "This is a sample ticker text",
        repeatDaily: false
    });
}
</script>

8. You can use the following commands:

notification.add({ date: new Date(), message: 'an Android alarm', id: 123 });
notification.cancel(123); 
notification.cancelAll();

9. There is a detail example in the demo folder, refer to www\index.html file.
