Bedankt!
Would be very thankful to see a video update for MAUI about 'normal' push notifications as well 🙂
@@CoderboyPB I definitely want to do that, but that is MUCH more complicated :D stay tuned!
@@jfversluis Da's ook een wens van mij; aannemende dat het over remote notificaties gaat. Als het moet via Firebase, maar het liefst via een eigen .NET Core web server.
@@kanaalmarc Je kunt nooit push notifications sturen vanuit alleen je .NET Core web server.
Je zult altijd via de servers van Apple en Google moeten gaan, zie: th-cam.com/video/AKYebqOCAzY/w-d-xo.html
Het signaal om een notificatie te versturen kan natuurlijk uit je .NET Core web server komen.
Dat gezegd hebbende, ik wil nog een aantal videos maken over push notificaties van remote voor .NET MAUI
@@jfversluis Ja dat bedoelde ik ook: initiëren vanuit eigen (hosted) web server. Ik weet dat, voor beveiliging, altijd Apple en Google er tussen zitten.
Ik heb in mijn XF tijd ook met lokale notificaties gewerkt. Op iOS werkt dat niet, omdat Apple begrijpelijkerwijs geen echte achtergrond processen toestaat. Je hebt alleen de functionaliteit voor op de achtergrond verversen, en de frequentie wordt bepaald door iOS a.h.v. het app gebruik. Vandaar ook mijn wens om met push notificaties te werken.
Afijn, ik wacht je videos met belangstelling af.
Hey, Gerald! I'm watching all of your new videos, thank you for sharing them!!! Please, could you talk about internationalization and themes (for user interface) in MAUI? Cheers!
If you don’t get this regularly, but thank you man. I appreciate your tutorials so much.
I try! Thanks for the kind words!
We are waiting for your videos because they are always useful and interesting
Thank you so much Anwar!
Another fine video Gerald! Thank you for sharing!
Many thanks Jonathan, appreciate it!
Exactly what I needed! Thank you for this tutorial.
Hello Gerald, thank you for sharing yours videos 👍
Appreciate it, thanks!
You are a lifesaver, thank you so much!
You’re welcome!
Yo!!! You are a life saver man. Thank you!!!
Appreciate it thank you!
Hey Gerald. Thanks for this very informative video. At 14:10, you mention action buttons on notifications. Could you possibly link me some documentation on how to do this or make a video about that as you suggested? :) That would be awesome
Thanks for letting us know
My pleasure!
Gerald, love the NotificationId 🐐
Gotta keep it nerdy 🤓
I don't know if I'm missing something but I really need some form of documentation of how to set settings or even find the NotificationRequest by the NotificationId or even add buttons as you say to let the user interact with the notification. I've searched through GitHub and NuGet but can't seem to find anything about these things. Really nice job though and exactly what I need. :)
Thank you !
You're very welcome!
Awesome 👍
Thanks!
Great video, just in time for a project I'm working on! I'm wondering if it's possible to make a popup notification "stick", similar to that of a timer that has run out. I've tried with the different category types but to no avail...
On iOS that is not really possible. The trick for that is to add a custom sound to the notification. The sound can be at most 30 seconds and the banner will then keep showing for 30 seconds.
Not sure about Android, maybe it works the same.
Thanks for this video. I am new to MAUI, right now my struggle is how to have notification to windows app. Is there a way to do it in MAUI?
Thanks :)
Oh no thank you for your support!
Thank you, please tutorial how to combine this with MVVM
Thanks for the video. Can you mention an example on how we can schedule the notification in .NET Maui? i.e check every hour if user did this, otw create a notification
Hey Gerald, thank you for your Video! For some reason it doesn't work for me... do I have to check any settings in the emulator or something like that? Thanks in advance!
Thanks. For a future video, I would love to see an example of the new Maui .NET7 RC1 new
X/Y position*
Width/Height*
Minimum Width/Height
Maximum Width/Height
SizeChanged
Features on Windows. I have not seen a working example of this so far. Thanks for your helpful videos.
I'm planning some desktop videos in the near future so will see to include this, thanks!
How do I set a reminder by selecting start date and enddate and time using mvvm and be notified for example appointment reminder
I love .net Maui so much
Glad to hear that!
Hello, does anyone know how to set an Icon on IOs? I've already set Custom icon on Android but i dont seem to find how to set custom icon for IOs
Hello Gerald, thank you for the helpful video! Could you create a tutorial on implementing background local notifications? I aim to display upload and download progress even when the app is in the background.
Great tutorial! Can the notification icon be really customized? Mostly all apps on Android 12 (even professional apps) show this "empty-icon" on notifications!
Oh really?! I'm more of an iOS person, I totally assumed that that would be something you could do 😅 I need to look into that then... What good does it to when it only shows you 10 circles in a row?
Great tutorial however, how can the notification shows in the top? So the usr doesnt need to swipe the notification center to see the notifications?
Nice Video thank you. For a shopping app, if users favorite items prices drops down I want to send local push notification. Any recommendation how to do it?

Hey Gerald, thx again for your new video. Can you make a video Programmatically Connecting to specified WiFi in a MAUI app. Or give a suggestion where I can find a solution. I try to create an app that connects with a device with its own WiFi and read some data. 🙂 Thanks
Hmm interesting case. For iOS, Android? Both? If you can find the code how to do it natively you should be able to relatively easily translate that into .NET MAUI.
Did you find anything about that? If so and you can't figure it out, shoot me an email and I can have a look!
Thanks, Gerald, for the great videos.
I am working on an app where the user should be able to set reminders for a specific date, with a message, and receive notifications of those reminders at the scheduled date even if the app is not running.
I think that push notifications is the way to go to achieve this.
The tutorials I watched so far regarding push notifications, describe a concept where a push notification is send from the Firebase console to the device which is not what I want.
How can I achieve this kind of functionality?
Any advice to which direction to look at, will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
George 😀
Hey George! Thank you for watching!
If your use-case is reminders it’s probably better to use local push notifications. Then there is no need to have any timer code on your side and more importantly the reminder will still honor when the users device is offline or your server is down.
If you still want to do it server-side, your code will probably be something like in the video: th-cam.com/video/VI1wgekz5ZM/w-d-xo.html
You will want to have an Azure Function maybe with a cron trigger, retrieve the reminder from the database and send it such code like that. Hope this helps!
@@jfversluis
Hey Gerald 😀, Many thanks for taking the time to respond.
What I had in mind was Cloud Firestore for the database and Cloud Function to retrieve the reminder from the database, but I wasn't sure if this is the correct approach.
The video is great and sheds a lot of light.
I have some (I guess a lot) work to do to achieve this.
Many thanks again for your help,
Kind regards,
George
No problem at all! Anything for my most loyal watchers 😉
Yeah sure if you want to stick with Firebase I’m sure they have some serverless/cron functionality as well so you can substitute any technology there. But the general idea stays the same
Hello Gerald Im trying to make push notification service on maui .net 8.0 but firebase packages not supported what can i do or is there any other way to make it
I am getting error Show: Notifications are disabled , any suggestion on this.
Hi, I am working on a project in which I send a notification for each message i receive from an amazon sqs. The problem I am facing using this plugin is that even if I group notification as the documentation says, every new notification message "cancel" the previous one. Can someone help me?😅
Great video thanks, do you know if I can use notifications without using Azure and use my local apache server instead? Need to check your recent videos as need to convert my app from xamarin I'm sure you have one :)
Thank you! For local notifications you don’t need Azure or anything. For remote push notifications you will always have to go through the servers of Apple and Google. Your Apache server can be the one to initiate a push notification, but it can’t send it to devices directly. See: th-cam.com/video/AKYebqOCAzY/w-d-xo.html
How do i add an image? Can't get it to work
Please do a video about Adding action buttons to Notification
great video thanks for the guidance it works well but I have an issue in my use case that has a web API that returns a number of devices getting overheated whenever the API returns the data at all times. I need to send a notification to the app user even if the app is closed.
For that you probably want to look into remote push notifications
Hello thanks! Great video. Does this work also in MAUI Blazor?
It definitely should yes
Gerald, with reference to a number of questions could you please demo how to trigger a notification when the app is closed. You say it should work but no one seems to be able to make this happen.
Could I use this to show a media player UI in the notification center or should I be doing things differently
Eventually I definitely want to add that. This is not implemented today.
Hi, great video! How can I change the color of the notification?
Thanks! If that is possible on the operating system then it’s probably possible here. For iOS for instance that’s not possible. Don’t know about Android
Great tutorial but can you help me for
How can I do When i click on the notification, a specific page opens maui
Thank you
Hi i have a doubt. In this push notification, how to set a navigate particular area
My english is bad, i hope you understand what i say
Awesome video, does the shedule still works when the Application is stopped?
Yes!
@@jfversluis This answered a question I didn't even know I wanted to ask! I was going to research how to do notifications while my app wasn't running, now I don't! Awesome stuff!!
Hi Gerald,
Thanks for all the great content! 👍
I have tried a couple of push notification samples for Maui using Firebase, but they don't compile with the latest version of Visual Studio.
Could you make a video on that?
Great video, does anyone know if its possible to show the notifications even when the app has been completely closed?
That should work all the same, if not, check the plugin repo
Is there any limit to icon size for notifications? I tried using the main logo file in svg format but that didn't work when the notification was scheduled for after a day. I tried removing the logo attributes, that worked but now there is empty box in status bar for the notification. Any idea?
Excuse me but what .net version are you using?
Amazing! what about a tutorial for firebase remote config (both forms and maui)? thanks
Thanks friend! I’m not sure if i will get to that anytime soon, and I don’t think there will be a lot of Xamarin.Forms content still coming :)
Thank you for this Gerald! Awesome as always. Tried it and works fine in Android. What is the work around for iOS?
Thanks! Why need a workaround for iOS? For what?
@@jfversluis the notification isn't showing in iOS, and the app actually also doesn't show in the notifications setting. I'm thinking that maybe I'm supposed to address the "permissions"? like you mentioned at the first 2 mins?
If the app doesn’t pop a dialog to prompt the user if notifications are allowed then that’s definitely it
@@jfversluis I have a two-parter, first is, i just want to confirm, you mean the "Permissions" discussed in this video th-cam.com/video/9GljgwfpiiE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JamesMontemagno, right? 2nd question, I am encountering a bug in the NotificationActionEventArgs IsTapped property, it is being executed twice and changes the value of the condition of my if statement inside it.
Hi Gerald, Thanks for all awesome videos.
using System.Data.SqlClient; not working in .NET MAUI for net6.0-android. Would you consider doing a video on sql connection for .net maui.
Personally I think you shouldn’t connect a mobile app directly to SQL server. Add a REST API in between!
Thanks for the kind words
Hi Gerald, I have problems with notification push with your example, doesn´nt show it en my mobile, could you tell me what i have to revise?
I don’t have enough any info for that to solve this for you, sorry!
I was playing around with it and it works fine on android. Just I couldnt figure it out how to add Images/Icons to the notifications ?
You can't
Thanks for this. Is there any way it would be possible to get a local notification to fire based on user location, to tell them they are near a point of interest? Any ideas?
Yep! All in the docs 😉 github.com/thudugala/Plugin.LocalNotification/wiki/Location-Notifications
@@jfversluis That's great - thank you!
great video ! but the video is not working on IOs are there any permissions that need to be added platform specifically , I am working with Dot Net 7 with Dot Net Maui Blazor
Check the repo if there are maybe some changes by now
@@jfversluis i have just downloaded the code its not working on ios yet
Hey boss! is there a video for Server side push notification in MAUI? Thank you
Not yet hopefully soon! I’m working on it
Is this also work for WinUI?
Thank you for sharing this amazing .Net Maui Plugin ,,
I have quotation it is possible to send notification using multi language ,, thank you again have great day
You can use localized resources as string so that should definitely be possible :) Thanks for watching!
@@jfversluis I will try thank you
I like the video. Instructions are easy to follow. But not resulting in any notifications on IOS for me - code runs without exceptions but nothing shows. iPhone 13 installed via Hot Restart from VS 2022 17.8.2. .Net 8 MAUI project. Plugin.LocalNotification 10.1.8, also tried 11.0.1.preview01 with same result. builder is calling UseLocalNotification. Any ideas?
var enabled = await LocalNotificationCenter.Current.AreNotificationsEnabled(); indicates Notifications are Not enabled. How to enable them? I tried setting Info.plist to Enable Background Modes so that Remote notifications are turned on, without result.
Gerald, could you please make the video - How to handle firebase push notifications on MAUI. Also interesting to do it under .NET 8.0... Since, I dont know why but I couldnt find the nuget package which is compatible with MAUI .NET 8... Did you try it? Thanks for your channel!
This... all the Firebase docs / tutorials need some fresh reworks for .NET 8+ MAUI.
Firebase is a product from a competitor. I doubt there will be official docs for it 😄 the NuGet should automatically be compatible with .NET 8.
I am working on push notifications but it will probably will be with Azure Notification Hub
What would happen if the app is closed at the schedule time to send the notification? Is the notification still sent. Trying to research tech for sending notifications and these seems easy. Just curious on limitations before trying it out.
It definitely should. It schedules it in the OS push notification system which is independent of the app running or not
Great video. can you also do a video on how to sign in using a google account in MAUI ? Thanks in advanced
Maybe! I'm not great with auth... I'll see what I can do!
@@jfversluis Thank you in advanced
This work if app is closed? I mean make a trigger came from server and app just run it
Should work!
Coo. It does not seem to send notifications when app is closed though, any way to make it so?
It definitely should. Check the plug-in repo
I had a problem , without an error notifications didn't appear. I have tried on previous android version ( android 10 , api 29) and it worked.
Check the project repository if there is an issue or solution
I created a notification request. which pops up a notification every 30 mins. How do i stop it displaying it notification or how do i cancel schedule. cancel or cancellAll is not working for me. Thanks. :(
I think you have to save the notification ID and update it with a scheduled date in the past

Hi, can the notification be fired when when the App is closed e.g. 24 hours after it is set? Also can the notification be retained when the App is closed?
That should both be possible absolutely
@@jfversluis Hi, cant' find how to do this in documentation and which ever way I try can't get this to work. How do you ensure the notification will fire after the App s closed? i.e the equivalent of the Android Alarm Manager SetExact and AllowWhileIdle.
@@glenntaylor7143 Hi, did you find a solution to fire notifications when app is closed?
@@luisjjjj Hi, apart from 'this should be possible' I have not found a solution. Reply to a simi;ar question was 'it should'. If this is the case I would like to see a demo.
Hello, what about asking for permissions on Android? When I run it on IOS, system asks me for permission so I can grant it. On android its not doing that. I have added permission to Manifest file, but I still have to turn on notification permission manually in system settings for my app.
Have a look at the code for the plugin to see if it’s actually supposed to do that and open an issue on the repo if you think there is a bug!
It probably shouldn't but maybe you know the way to do it? Cause its not on the list of class "Permissions".
The permissions API is very extensible, look it up in the Permissions Docs :)
