Step 1
Making the environment suitable for Notification. Make sure you enabled Background Modes and Push Notification
Step 2: Creating an UNNotificationContentExtension
Click on the + icon in the bottom which creates a target template and select Notification Content Extention -> next -> create a name for the content extension -> finish
Step 3:Configuring the info.plist file of the created extension
The dictionary in NSExtension signifies how the notification content is displayed, these are performed on long pressing the received notification
self.title = myTitle
UNUserNotificationCenter
in your application. Here it can be either a string or an array of strings, so each category can gave different types of data from which we can create different UI’s. The payload we send must contain the category name in order to display this particular extensionStep 4: Creating UNNotificationAction
and UNNotificationCategory
in our application
In your app’s AppDelegate.swift didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
function add
let userNotificationAction:UNNotificationAction = UNNotificationAction.init(identifier: "ID1", title: "வணக்கம்", options: .destructive)
let userNotificationAction2:UNNotificationAction = UNNotificationAction.init(identifier: "ID2", title: "Success", options: .destructive)
let notifCategory:UNNotificationCategory = UNNotificationCategory.init(identifier: "CATID1", actions: [userNotificationAction,userNotificationAction2], intentIdentifiers: ["ID1","ID2"] , options:.customDismissAction)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().setNotificationCategories([notifCategory])
UIApplication.shared.registerForRemoteNotifications()
We created two UNNotificationAction
with identifiers ID1
and ID2
and added those actions to a UNNotificationCategory
with identifier CATID1
(the categoryID in ContentExtension’s info.plist file are same, what we created here should be used in payload and the plist file). We set the category to our application’s UNUserNotificationCenter
and in next line we are registering for the notification which calls the didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken
function where we get the device token
Note: dont forget to import UserNotifications
in your AppDelegate.swift and add UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate
