Requesting Notification Authorization

Your application can send notifications only after obtaining user authorization. Call the requestEnableNotification() API before a notification is published. A dialog box is displayed for the user to determine whether to allow notification sending. When this API is called again, no dialog box is displayed.

Available APIs

For details about the APIs, see @ohos.notificationManager (NotificationManager).

Table 1 Notification authorization APIs

API	Description
isNotificationEnabled():Promise<boolean>	Checks whether notification is enabled.
requestEnableNotification(callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void	Requests notification to be enabled. When called for the first time, this API displays a dialog box prompting the user to select.

How to Develop

1. Import the NotificationManager module.

   import notificationManager from '@ohos.notificationManager';
   import Base from '@ohos.base';
   

2. Request notification to be enabled.

   You can determine whether the user has authorized the request based on the error code of requestEnableNotification. If the error code 1600004 is returned, the authorization is rejected.

   notificationManager.isNotificationEnabled().then((data: boolean) => {
     console.info("isNotificationEnabled success, data: " + JSON.stringify(data));
     if(!data){
       notificationManager.requestEnableNotification().then(() => {
         console.info(`[ANS] requestEnableNotification success`);
       }).catch((err : Base.BusinessError) => {
         if(1600004 == err.code){
           console.info(`[ANS] requestEnableNotification refused`);
         } else {
           console.error(`[ANS] requestEnableNotification failed, code is ${err.code}, message is ${err.message}`);
         }
       });
     }
   }).catch((err : Base.BusinessError) => {
       console.error(`isNotificationEnabled fail: ${JSON.stringify(err)}`);
   });
