How to add press action on notification to open the file.

[shubhamdeol]

I want to show local notification on successful file download.

Here is how I am trying

const contentUri = await FileSystem.getContentUriAsync(filePath);

const notificationId = await notifee.displayNotification({
    title: 'Excel Report',
    body: 'File Successfully downloaded',
    android: {
      channelId: NotificationChannelNames.DownloadProgress,
      pressAction: {
        id: 'default',
        launchActivity: contentUri,
      },
    },
  });

What is correct way to pass an intent which opens file in mobile.

One way can be to send pressAction id as

 pressAction: {
        id: 'download',
      },

and inside app listeners.

In press event handle it like

if (detail.notification?.android?.pressAction?.id === 'download') {
  FileSystem.getContentUriAsync(uri).then((cUri) => {
    IntentLauncher.startActivityAsync('android.intent.action.VIEW', {
      data: cUri,
      flags: 1,
    });
  });
}

This required me to save fileUri in AsyncStorage and clear async on press action action. More better way could be if I could pass the intent from the place I am creating the notificaiton.

Hey, this is an interesting use case! At the moment we only support launching a react activity. I'm not sure if it's possible but it could be something we look into.

Closing as it's not something on the roadmap as there's no clear solution right now.
