Asking user permission in Android is mandatory?

[deepakaggarwal7]

I want to set a notification for next day when the app is opened for the first time. My code works fine but I need to manually give the notification permission to the App upon fresh installation (same behavior in both the real device and simulator). Without it, the Background event is called, but notification doesn't display.

The specs mention - "On Android, notification permissions are granted by default.". Also, of so many apps I install, I don't remember to be granting permission for notification but still get notification. Is it a library problem, or react-native problem or I am missing something because of which app is not granted permission by default.

Please suggest. thanks

I'm not knowledgeable enough to say if this is applicable for sure, but have you considered that Android 13 and up introduced this permission requirement? https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/notifications/notification-permission
