Appium - How to dismiss 3rd party push notifications in android.

[Faizan-Mamji]

When performing actions on dashboard or any other screen suddenly push notification comes and my test failed as unable to find element due to notification.

Details

My all cases working fine but whenever application notification comes my test getting failed. The main issue is when i am doing something or performing any actions, suddenly notification comes on the screen and it comes any time but the problem is how would i know that there is notification on the screen? Sometimes my cases passed when notifications didn't come on screen. Is there any way to dismiss the notification as in the screenshot?

• UIAutomator1 is obsolete and should not be used for Android 6+
• Alerts in android don't follow any common pattern and thus cannot be accepted automatically. You must either disable them via some backdoor in you app while doing testing or have an explicit alert presence verification in your client code

@mykola-mokhnach My code is working for UiAutomator1 But the thing is how should i add/use explicit alert on screen?

My code is working for UiAutomator1

I cannot understand why one needs to ask something if he already knows the answer...

Bro, the issue is that i already highlighted above. "My all cases working fine but whenever application notification comes my test getting failed. The main issue is when i am doing something or performing any actions, suddenly notification comes on the screen and it comes any time but the problem is how would i know that there is notification on the screen? Sometimes my cases passed when notifications didn't come on screen. Is there any way to dismiss the notification as in the screenshot?"

This is working fine when there is no push notification but it fails when there is any notification appears. So i dont think this related to UiAutomator1 or UiAutomator2

But the thing is how should i add/use explicit alert on screen?

I was ask you how to use this?
