Android Local Notifications & Permission

How to / Third Party Tooling
1

My local notifications work great on iOS, im now trying to get them to work on Android. I can’t seem to find much information regarding Android notifications online minus the official documentation. First things first though… permissions. This is what I currently have which works for iOS and I would also figure works for Android:

async function getNotificationPermission() {
  const { status } = await Permissions.getAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS);
  if (status !== "granted") {
    await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS);
  }
}

But on my AVD it doesn’t ever ask for permission. Does anyone have a snack or some code of what a request for android permission looks like and possibly what setting up scheduled local notifications looks like? I believe I have to create a channel but haven’t gotten that far because of the permission issue.

Thanks

Hello,

As it is stated in expo docs Android remote notification permissions are granted during the app install, so this will only ask on iOS.

Im doing local notifications however, not remote.
