Ionic 1 local notification not working in Ionic View app

So I'm using this plugin (https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications) for my app to have local notifications however it is not working when I have tested it.

I followed this tutorial https://devdactic.com/local-notifications-ionic/ I have tested the app on Ionic View on both android and iOS. I press the buttons but nothing shows up.

I have tried switching $cordovaLocalNotification with cordova.plugins.notification.local. when trying to use the functions in the plugin but that didn't work.

For what it's worth, the plugin does not show up in the package.json file but it does show up when I run the 'cordova plugins' command.

EDIT 1: The following is an image taken from my iPhone after I clicked Add notification this is an error I got after I put the button click code in a try catch block

In my $ionicPlatform.ready(function(){...}), I have the following code

        if(window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.notification) {

        alert('This alert doesn't fire');

      }

The alert doesn't appear which means window.cordova.plugins.notification is unavailable just like the picture indicates

EDIT 2: On the ionic forums it was suggested that the plugin is not working on the Ionic View app as it is not one of the supported plugins. Please refer to: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/katzers-local-notification-plugin/86748

However it does work when running/testing on a device(android) instead of the Ionic View app.

Solution

  • Add --save at the end of your command, something like:

    cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification --save

    It will add it to your config file.

    Edit: Maybe you have error while using it. See error log by running the app with following command:

    ionic run android -l -c

    Finally running in the real device solved the issue.
