Description

Support LocalNotifications setSummaryText for Android. Setting a summary is already possible for iOS. It should be added for Android when we set groupSummary to true.

Platform(s)

Android

Preferred Solution

Add summaryText to the LocalNotification object for Android

Alternatives

Reuse summaryArgument from iOS for this.

I'm looking a bit deeper into this...

From the Android Docs for creating a group summary:

Notification summaryNotification =
    new NotificationCompat.Builder(MainActivity.this, CHANNEL_ID)
        .setContentTitle(emailObject.getSummary())
        //set content text to support devices running API level < 24
        .setContentText("Two new messages")
        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notify_summary_status)
        //build summary info into InboxStyle template
        .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle()
                .addLine("Alex Faarborg  Check this out")
                .addLine("Jeff Chang    Launch Party")
                .setBigContentTitle("2 new messages")
                .setSummaryText("janedoe@example.com"))
        //specify which group this notification belongs to
        .setGroup(GROUP_KEY_WORK_EMAIL)
        //set this notification as the summary for the group
        .setGroupSummary(true)
        .build();

It seems as if setting the "group summary" is the same as setting the content title / content text on a notification with setGroupSummary set as true.

const summaryNotification: LocalNotificationSchema = {
      id: 123,
      title: 'Summary of Notifications',
      body: 'Two new messages',
      group: "test-group",
      groupSummary: true,
};

Is there any particular reason you would need an explicit summaryText for this case?

In my tests (Android 11) when setting group summary the title and body of the group do not get shown.

Test as following:

const noti1 = {
            title: "Noti1",
            body: "Body1",
            id: 1,
            schedule: { at: new Date(Date.now() + 1000 * 5) },
            sound: null,
            attachments: null,
            actionTypeId: "",
            extra: null,
            group: '1',
        }
        const noti2 = {
            title: "Noti2",
            body: "Body2",
            id: 2,
            schedule: { at: new Date(Date.now() + 1000 * 5) },
            sound: null,
            attachments: null,
            actionTypeId: "",
            extra: null,
            group: '1',
        }
        const notiGroup: LocalNotification = {
            title: "NotiGroup",
            body: "NotiGroup",
            id: 3,
            schedule: { at: new Date(Date.now() + 1000 * 5) },
            sound: null,
            attachments: null,
            actionTypeId: "",
            extra: null,
            group: '1',
            groupSummary: true,
            summaryArgument: 'test',
        }
        const notifs = await LocalNotifications.schedule({
            notifications: [
                noti1,
                noti2,
                notiGroup,
            ]
          });

Left is without summary text and right is with summary text
