LocalNotifications equivalent on iOS

Unity Engine

Hello!

In my current game I want to warn the user when his energy have finish refilling (after a certain time), in iOS I can do a local notification for that. However on Android I am not too sure what I need to do to get that… Is it a toast, using alarmManager?

From what I understood from the Android Dev reference is that the alarm will automatically start the game when it runs out, which is not really what I wanna do. I just want to show the player : Hey! come back to the game, your energy is full (or something alike).

I am a bit lost here, so I hope someone can help me ! Thanks!

Something like Android Notifications - Tutorial ?

That’s exactly that. So since this is a java code snipset, I have to include it in a jar file? Then use it from within unity?

Yes. I think Prim31 also has plugin for that feature (Etcetera Plugin).

Thanks !
But do you know if there’s another free alternative or less costy one? The ecterera plugin has quite a lot of stuff that I don’t need thus paying for nothing.

I haven’t seen any other plugin, only some code examples
