# NotificationListenerService plugin for Cordova
This is an implementation of the
[NotificationListenerService in Android](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/notification/NotificationListenerService.html)
for Cordova.
A service that receives calls from the system when new notifications are posted or removed, or their ranking changed.
Note: This plugin doesn't work for IOS or Windows Phone, feel free to create a pull request if you want to add that functionality to this project.
## How to install
cordova plugin add https://github.com/coconauts/NotificationListener-cordova
## Enable notification listener service
This service requires an special permission that must be enabled from settings on Android (Settings > Notifications > Notification access)
![](/settings.jpg)
Note: The app requires the following permission in your Manifest file on Android, which will be added automatically:
android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE
## How to use
On Cordova initialization, add the callback for your notification-listener.
Then everytime you get a notification in your phone that callback in JS will be triggered with the notification data.
```
var app = {
initialize: function() {
console.log("Initializing app");
this.bindEvents();
},
bindEvents: function() {
console.log("Binding events");
document.addEventListener('deviceready', this.onDeviceReady, false);
},
onDeviceReady: function() {
console.log("Device ready");
notificationListener.listen(function(n){
console.log("Received notification " + JSON.stringify(n) );
}, function(e){
console.log("Notification Error " + e);
});
}
};
app.initialize();
```
For a full example, please see our [WatchDuino2 repository](https://github.com/coconauts/watchduino2-companion-app)
## Sample output
```
Received notification
{
"title":"Chuck Norris",
"package":"com.google.android.talk",
"text":"Hello world",
"textLines":""
}
```
## Notification response format
The notification response received by Javascript is a simplified object from the
[StatusBarNotification class](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/notification/StatusBarNotification.html)
in Android.
Feel free to update the
[notification parser](https://github.com/coconauts/NotificationListener-cordova/blob/master/src/android/NotificationCommands.java#L80)
inside this plugin if needed.
