When specifying a filename for the iconSmall and iconBig parameters, where are those files supposed to be placed? What format should the icon image picture be in?

Can you provide an example

Hey I ran into a problem. I just imported it into my project and tried to build only the demo scene for Android. After I tap a button to send notification error appears. I tried another plugin for local notification before (GitHub - Agasper/unity-android-notifications: Unity3D Plugin for Android local notifications with example project), but I had the same problem. Dont you know what could I do to fix it? I should release the game next week and I cant without notifications.
Btw, the implementation is very easy and awesome, but I cant get it work.

EDIT: I now figured in new demo project, that plugin works ok with Internal (default) build system, but not with Gradle (new). Problem is, I need gradle cause I have too much reference fields or what when I use Internal (some dex-compile error or what)

Hi. You can send your gradle file?

[vratislavino]

@Lucasito

Hi. You can send your gradle file?

Sure, here it is. Its just basic mainTempleate.gradle without changes (i suppose that line compile fileTRee(dir: ‘libs’, include: [‘*.jar’]) in dependencies should include even MobileNotification.jar plugin.
And if it doesnt, I just wonder what to add and where (sorry, i didnt find anything about that in Unity Docs).

Btw, of course I have it as .gradle, but it would not let me upload it here due to uknown file type.

EDIT
I already tried
compile(name:‘./MobileLocalNotifications’, ext:‘jar’)
and
compile files(‘MobileLocalNotifications.jar’)
in the dependencies element
both approches definitely find the file (it would crash with some “no file error”, i tested it)
The first approach failed with attached error, second one succeeded without build error, but in game is still error “NoSuchMethod”

Thanks

You use Gradle and Minify. It is necessary to add to the Assets\Plugins\Androids\proguard-user.txt line
-keep class ru.LittleStories.LocalNotifications.** { *; }

Awesome, mate, your plugin is the best (maily support :)). I’ll definitely provide some feedback on assetstore.
One more thing. When I SendNotification and close the game (not minimize, but close), notification won’t appear. Do you know where the problem could be?

Thanks mate

Hmm. On my device all ok. What device and android version?

@Lucasito

Hmm. On my device all ok. What device and android version?

Android 6.0

EDIT:
It seems my phone is only dumb It works fine on other devices.

Unofrtunately I ran into another issue. I added icons in mutiple sizes. Put it in folder Plugins/Android/res (as shown in the image) but if I provide “ic_launcher” or “ic_stat_micro_icn_03_2_01”, game always crashes. Another wierd think is: when I use mln_notification, it uses main game icon (but it didn’t crash). Maybe it ignores res folder? I read somewhere that Unity won’t support res folder or something like that.

Please, send res folder. I check on my devices. May be problem in images

I have few questions.

1. Does it sends notifications after selecting a fixed time even after reboot ( iOS )
2. Cna we change notification icon for iOS too?

Hi. For IOS, I use UnityEngine.LocalNotification with my extension on c#. I no find change icon in UnityEngine.LocalNotification. If you know how to do it (example or article), write me, I update asset.
Now, I find info for rich local notification on iOS and Android.
