I want to create interactive notifications for my android app like the ones in iOS: https://news.dueapp.com/ios-10-notifications-one-step-forward-one-step-back-fe712469184e. I know that android launched the interactive notification feature from Jellybean(4.1)
My question is: how many actions can I define in an interactive notifications?
Thanks in advance.
Check out Android notification not showing more than 3 actions and https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.Builder.html
You cannot add more than 3 actions, if you want to do something like iOS, you will have to do your own notification layout, or you can also add 1 action that opens a dialog with options.

I understand the Notification Badge on the launcher icon in Android (8.0+) is automatically shown when a notification is received. Unfortunately, once they open or dismiss the notification the badge will be removed. What I'm wondering is, can the app itself directly tell the system to show the badge? I would like to show it when they have unread messages within the app.
I understand that some third party launchers and manufacturer variants of Android do offer additional badge functionality, however, I am referring to vanilla Android and the stock launcher.
Thank you.

Only if the launcher supports it. There are hundreds of launchers.

In terms of the standard Android SDK system, the badge will only appear if you raise a notification. Some launchers may offer an additional (documented or undocumented) API for apps to display badges on icons.
This video # 0:17 shows a bubble-style push notification on Android. Messaging apps like WhatsApp often use these.
I'm building an app with Capacitor 3 but can't find how to send these kinds of push notifications. Is there a plugin I could use, or some way of configuring just a normal push notification to display like this?
It turns out this is the default style when the 'brief' notification style is selected in the notifications setting on the phone. It isn't set programmatically as some kind of notification config.
Mine wasn't showing because the 'Show as popup' option was disabled for the notification channel I was testing. When I created a new channel, it was set to show notifications as popups, and then they started showing like in the video.
I'm trying to create a custom notification in my android app with an image that will also be visible when the phone is locked.
Right now, Im building push notifications which are visible on the notification bar only, in which only my app icon is visible and on clicking which a certain pending intent is executed.
Is there a way through which i can show, my notifications with an image and a headline with it and also it gets visible on locked screen .
Also is there any widgets available or particular libraries through which i can implement my custom notifications?
Try using alertdialog with a flag. The flag_show_when_locked is the thing you trying to do I suppose. Please refer to this answer here.
As we know, developing on Android we can handle push notification and show a custom view depending on our logic. But there is a problem, if I send a push notification with a content and title from the server android will auto-display the notification and if I handle them at the same time the phone shows both, mine and the auto-displayed.
How can I disable auto display of the notification in these cases.
Why do I need to do this?
I am using OneSignal to send push notifications for both android and ios. The second one need to receive a content and title to be shown but this is not mandatory for android and I want to be able to show a custom view in this case.
Thanks in advance
You can omit the displaying of the OneSignal notification by the SDK by setting up a NotificationExtenderService per the OneSignal Background Data and Notification Overriding documentation. Use the NotificationExtenderBareBonesExample class example shown in step 2 and return true instead of false to let the SDK know your handling the notification.
I followed this tutorial and got notification on my sony samrtwatch. But now i want to have dynamic number of actions in manu when notification message is opened. Currently we are having 3 actions only. So is it possible? and if not then is there any other alternatives like setting some UI like the tutorial have and clicking on some of the button on that ui i can get notified back in my application.
Currently there isn't a way to have a dynamic number of actions in the menu for Notification API. Three is the max that you can have and you have to set them at compile time. If you need more flexibility your only option is to use the Control API and build your own notification UI yourself.
