Notification Subscription (for System Applications Only)

To receive notifications, an application must subscribe to notifications first. The notification subsystem provides two types of subscription APIs, allowing applications to subscribe to notifications from all applications or notifications from a specific application.

You can use the NotificationSubscriber object to provide callbacks for subscription events, such as subscription success, notification reception, notification cancellation, and subscription cancellation.

Available APIs

The major APIs for notification subscription are described as follows. For details about the APIs, see @ohos.notificationSubscribe.

Table 1 Major APIs for notification subscription

Name	Description
subscribe(subscriber: NotificationSubscriber, info: NotificationSubscribeInfo, callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void	Subscribes to notifications from a specific application.
subscribe(subscriber: NotificationSubscriber, callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void	Subscribes to notifications from all applications.

Table 2 Callbacks for notification subscription

Name	Description
onConsume?:(data: SubscribeCallbackData) => void	Callback for receiving notifications.
onCancel?:(data: SubscribeCallbackData) => void	Callback for canceling notifications.
onUpdate?:(data: NotificationSortingMap) => void	Callback for notification sorting updates.
onConnect?:() => void;	Callback for subscription.
onDisconnect?:() => void;	Callback for unsubscription.
onDestroy?:() => void	Callback for disconnecting from the notification subsystem.
onDoNotDisturbDateChange?:(mode: notification.DoNotDisturbDate) => void	Callback for the Do Not Disturb (DNT) time changes.
onEnabledNotificationChanged?:(callbackData: EnabledNotificationCallbackData) => void	Callback for notification switch changes.

How to Develop

Request the ohos.permission.NOTIFICATION_CONTROLLER permission. For details, see Permission Application Guide.

Import the notificationSubscribe module.

import notificationSubscribe from '@ohos.notificationSubscribe';

Create a subscriber object.

let subscriber = {
    onConsume: function (data) {
        let req = data.request;
        console.info('[ANS] onConsume callback req.id: ' + req.id);
    },
    onCancel: function (data) {
        let req = data.request;
        console.info('[ANS] onCancel callback req.id: : ' + req.id);
    },
    onUpdate: function (data) {
        console.info('[ANS] onUpdate in test');
    },
    onConnect: function () {
        console.info('[ANS] onConnect in test');
    },
    onDisconnect: function () {
        console.info('[ANS] onDisConnect in test');
    },
    onDestroy: function () {
        console.info('[ANS] onDestroy in test');
    },
};

Initiate notification subscription.

notificationSubscribe.subscribe(subscriber, (err, data) => { // This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.
  if (err) {
    console.error(`[ANS] failed to subscribe, error[${err}]`);
    return;
  }
  console.info(`[ANS] subscribeTest success : + ${data}`);
});
