SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Push notifications are essential for real‑time engagement, but Expo projects require native configuration, token handling, permission management, and deep‑link routing, which are cumbersome and error‑prone for developers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Installation & configuration: automates adding expo-notifications and required plugins to app.json.
  • Permission & token management: registers devices, obtains Expo push tokens, and handles Android channels.
  • Notification handling: sets up listeners for foreground, background, and tapped notifications, enabling deep linking to specific screens.
  • Sending notifications: provides examples for both remote (EAS Push) and local scheduled alerts.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to add push notification support to my Expo app and configure it to open the chat screen when a notification is tapped.

Frequently Asked Questions about mobile-push-notifications

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add push notifications to my Expo mobile application?▼

To configure Android channels for Expo push notifications, you define the channels in your app.json configuration using notification plugins. This ensures that incoming notifications are properly categorized and delivered according to the specified Android channel settings and priority levels.

How do I handle deep linking when a user taps a push notification?▼

Deep linking from a tapped push notification is handled by setting up listener events that capture the notification tap. When a notification is tapped, the listener extracts the routing data and navigates the user directly to the specific app screen, such as a chat window.

Can I send local scheduled alerts using expo-notifications?▼

Yes, you can send local scheduled alerts using expo-notifications. The setup provides examples for scheduling local notifications directly on the device, alongside capabilities for sending remote notifications via EAS Push.

Do I need EAS Push to send remote notifications in an Expo app?▼

EAS Push is the provided method for sending remote push notifications in this Expo setup. While local scheduled alerts can be triggered directly on the device, remote notifications require integrating EAS Push to deliver messages to registered Expo push tokens.
