Android 13 Notification Permission

Apr 13, 2024 By: Dr. Droid Android Notifications Comments: 0

From Android 13, notifications won’t work until and unless we have not taken runtime permission from the user. Without this permission, the user won’t be able to receive any kind of notification to their devices.

If you migrated from Android 12 to Android 13 make sure you have made changes related to Notification permission so that your users will be able to receive the notifications.

To enable the notification permission we need to do only two steps as follows:

Declare the Permission

Open the AndroidManifest.xml and add the following permission to it.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS"/>

1	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS"/>

Add Runtime Permission

Now we have to add runtime permission at the code level similarly we do for Camera, Contacts, Storage, etc permissions. The below code will show a permission dialog whenever we request the POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission.

Based on user consent the notifications will be shown to them.

   @RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU)
    private fun checkNotificationPermission() {
        val requestPermissionLauncher =
            registerForActivityResult(
                ActivityResultContracts.RequestPermission()
            ) { isGranted: Boolean ->
                if (isGranted) {
                    // Permission is granted. Continue the action or workflow in your
                    // app.
                } else {
                    // Permission is denied. Explain user why you need this permission
                    // and ask the permission again if user provide consent
                }
            }

        when {
            ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
                this,
                android.Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS
            ) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED -> {
                // Notification permission is granted
            }

            ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(
                this, android.Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS
            ) -> {
                // user denied the permission - explain user why you need this permission
            }

            else -> {
                // ask for notification permission directly
                requestPermissionLauncher.launch(
                    android.Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS
                )
            }
        }
    }

@RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU)

private fun checkNotificationPermission() {

val requestPermissionLauncher =

registerForActivityResult(

ActivityResultContracts.RequestPermission()

) { isGranted: Boolean ->

if (isGranted) {

// Permission is granted. Continue the action or workflow in your

// app.

} else {

// Permission is denied. Explain user why you need this permission

// and ask the permission again if user provide consent

}

when {

ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(

this,

android.Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS

) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED -> {

// Notification permission is granted

}

ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(

this, android.Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS

) -> {

// user denied the permission - explain user why you need this permission

}

else -> {

// ask for notification permission directly

requestPermissionLauncher.launch(

android.Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS

)

}

Using the above two steps will enable the notification in your app and users will be able to receive them only if they allow it.
