Even if there’s nothing built in to Unity, there MUST be at least one plugin that allow us to do this? I want to send a “local notification” from a timer in my game to inform the user his “energy” is now replenished. How to go about that?

Hi,
I’m working on it as we speak 
If you cannot wait, the idea is the following:
-
Have a Java plugin that starts a new Timer Service which will fire off at a specified time. When it does, it starts a local notification within java with an Intent that will launch your app (when the user clicks the notification, it will launch Unity)
-
From Unity, call that plugin whenever is convenient (in your case possibly on application exit), passing the time you want it to wait.
It shouldn’t be too difficult, but it’ll take me a few days to finish and submit to the Asset Store.
Cheers.
Sounds great Carlos, what do you have in mind for pricing?
To be honest I won’t know until I have finished the plugin -I had some fancy stuff in my head I wanted to implement, but I may go for straightforward local notifications. It does not seem too complicated, so I would assume it won’t be above $15.
Sounds great, keep me updated for sure.
Hey, I just submitted the asset dealing with notifications in android, now the wait till it gets approved!
With it you will be able to:
- Fire simple notifications to android devices from your app
- Schedule repeating notifications
- All sitting comfortably within your Unity project
Will keep you posted!
Cheers
Awesome Carlos! Please share a link here, I plan to buy it very soon!
