Receive notification only the app is in foreground #62

Open GENL opened 4 years ago

GENL commented 4 years ago

I build a mobile social network and I want to update the number of likes of a post using a push notification. But I don't want the users to be disturbed each time a post is liked when the app is in background. So is there a way to tell the mobile app to receive notification only when the app is in foreground?

Thanks

You can set how these notifications are handled in your app code. You can trigger an event when a push notification is received and decide what you do with it - this is where you check if the app is in the foreground or not and only then display the notification.
