Titanium Local Notifications Example

readme.md

1. Since we are using Local Notifications, we'll need to follow instructions here: http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/iOS_Local_Notifications http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Android_Notifications

2. For iOS8 and later, we need to register to use local notifications using:

// Check if the device is running iOS 8 or later, before registering for local notifications
if (Ti.Platform.name == "iPhone OS" && parseInt(Ti.Platform.version.split(".")[0]) >= 8) {
    Ti.App.iOS.registerUserNotificationSettings({
	    types: [
            Ti.App.iOS.USER_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_ALERT,
            Ti.App.iOS.USER_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_SOUND,
            Ti.App.iOS.USER_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_BADGE
        ]
    });
}

When the code runs on iOS8 or later, the user will get the following warning:

3. The following code creates and sends a local notification. Clicking on the notification will cause the app to foreground or start (if not already running)

$.index.open();

var alertFields = {
	title: 'Notification', //Android Only
	body : 'Just another notification',
	badge: 1,
	when: new Date(new Date().getTime() + 3000) //iOS only
};

if(OS_IOS){

	// Check if the device is running iOS 8 or later, before registering for local notifications
	if (Ti.Platform.name == "iPhone OS" && parseInt(Ti.Platform.version.split(".")[0]) >= 8) {
	    Ti.App.iOS.registerUserNotificationSettings({
		    types: [
	            Ti.App.iOS.USER_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_ALERT,
	            Ti.App.iOS.USER_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_SOUND,
	            Ti.App.iOS.USER_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_BADGE
	        ]
	    });
	}

	// http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/iOS_Local_Notifications
	// The following code snippet schedules an alert to be sent within three seconds
	var notification = Ti.App.iOS.scheduleLocalNotification({
	    alertBody: alertFields.body,
	    badge: alertFields.badge,
	    date: alertFields.when
	});
} else if (OS_ANDROID) {
	var notification = Titanium.Android.createNotification({
	    contentTitle: alertFields.title,
	    contentText : alertFields.body,
	    contentIntent: Ti.Android.createPendingIntent({intent: Ti.Android.createIntent({})}),
	    number: alertFields.badge
	});

	var intent = Ti.Android.createIntent({
	    action: Ti.Android.ACTION_MAIN,
	    className: 'com.helloworldlb.HelloworldlbActivity',
	    packageName: 'com.helloworldlb'
	});

	intent.flags |= Ti.Android.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED; //Starts app if not backgrounded
	intent.addCategory(Ti.Android.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);

	notification.contentIntent = Ti.Android.createPendingIntent({
		intent: intent,
		type : Ti.Android.PENDING_INTENT_FOR_ACTIVITY,
		flags : Ti.Android.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY
	});

	Ti.Android.NotificationManager.notify(1, notification);

} else {
	alert('unsupported device');
}

Here is the alert on iOS (9.3):

Here is the alert on Android (5.0):

index.js

function doClick(e) {
    alert($.label.text);
}

$.index.open();

var alertFields = {
	title: 'Notification', //Android Only
	body : 'Just another notification',
	badge: 1,
	when: new Date(new Date().getTime() + 3000) //iOS only
};

	// Check if the device is running iOS 8 or later, before registering for local notifications
	if (Ti.Platform.name == "iPhone OS" && parseInt(Ti.Platform.version.split(".")[0]) >= 8) {
