No notification on macOS

[RetroAndDev]

Hi !
I got working the package with macOS but now, for an obscure reason, my notifications won't appear

I'm on a M1 MacBook Pro With macOS Sonoma 14.5

Here is my code :

print("App is not focused. Showing desktop notification");
// Display a notification
LocalNotification notification = LocalNotification(
  title: notificationData.title,
  body: notificationData.content,
);

await notification.show();
print("Sent notification");

My notificationData object is fetched from my API (sent by WebSocket). Even with hard-coded strings, it still not works.

I Initialize the Local Notifier from main() in lib/main.dart with :

// Initialize the Notification Manager
if(Platform.isWindows){
  await localNotifier.setup(
    appName: 'StudySuite',
    // The parameter shortcutPolicy only works on Windows
    shortcutPolicy: ShortcutPolicy.requireCreate,
  );
}
else{
  await localNotifier.setup(
    appName: 'StudySuite',
  );

(I put a Windows condition for the shortcutPolicy, it is needed ? Made that when my app doesn't send notifications. Before It was the same for macOS and Windows)

Any idea to get my notification working ?

Please make sure you have allowed app notifications in settings, If notifications are allowed but not working, Please provide me a minimal reproducible example?

Hello,

I have the same issue with this great plugin :)

there is an example

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:local_notifier/local_notifier.dart';

const appName = "Sample";

Future main() async {
  // Configurations de l'application
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 5), () async {
    // divers
    print("---> let's go");

    LocalNotification _exampleNotification = LocalNotification(
      identifier: '_exampleNotification',
      title: 'example',
      body: 'hello flutter!',
      actions: [
        LocalNotificationAction(
          text: 'Yes',
        ),
        LocalNotificationAction(
          text: 'No',
        ),
      ],
    );
    _exampleNotification.onShow = () {
      print('onShow ${_exampleNotification?.identifier}');
    };
    _exampleNotification.onClose = (closeReason) {
      switch (closeReason) {
        case LocalNotificationCloseReason.userCanceled:
          // do something
          break;
        case LocalNotificationCloseReason.timedOut:
          // do something
          break;
        default:
      }
      String log = 'onClose ${_exampleNotification?.identifier} - $closeReason';

      print(log);
    };
    _exampleNotification.onClick = () {
      String log = 'onClick ${_exampleNotification?.identifier}';

      print(log);
    };
    _exampleNotification.onClickAction = (actionIndex) {
      String log =
          'onClickAction ${_exampleNotification?.identifier} - $actionIndex';

      print(log);
    };

    await  _exampleNotification.show();
    print("---> Ok sent!");
  });

  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      title: appName,
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: const Placeholder(),
    );
  }
}

on macos terminal

flutter run -d macos

The first time, we have notification according this code after macos autorisation. When I hot-reload software, we have notification, nice!
But when I close program and restart it, notification is not showing

flutter: ---> let's go
flutter: ---> Ok sent!
flutter: onShow _exampleNotification

We must remove macos settings banner right to have notification

I restarted apps a lot and notification disapear after one restart or more !
Is it macos bug?

Ah! It's a fresh flutter project :)

(sorry for my english)

thk alot
Mick

hi folks, I'm considering this lib for my macOS project, did you resolve this issue, or move to another solution?

Hi, I had to patch the native Swift code to make it work. Unfortunately, I don't recall exactly what I changed since it's been a long time.
