Ionic Local Notifications

Schedule local (on-device) notifications via @capacitor/local-notifications — reminders, daily prompts, post-action follow-ups. Trigger when adding scheduled reminders, drink-water-style daily nudges, or any notification fired by the app itself rather than a server. Distinct from push notifications.

Local Notifications

Notifications scheduled and fired by the device, not by a backend. Use cases: daily reminders, follow-up prompts after onboarding, post-purchase nudges, inactivity reminders.

For server-sent notifications (FCM / APNs), see ../ionic-shared/references/push-notifications.md. The two plugins are independent and can be used together.

When to consult

Setup, permissions, scheduling: setup-and-scheduling.md
Patterns (recurring, channels, action handling): patterns.md

Hard rules

✅ Request permission when the user opts in to a feature that uses notifications, not on app launch.
✅ Always set a unique numeric id per notification — same id overwrites the previous one.
✅ On Android 13+ the OS auto-prompts for POST_NOTIFICATIONS the first time you schedule.
❌ Don't schedule more than ~64 simultaneous notifications on iOS — the OS silently drops the rest.
❌ Don't rely on local notifications for time-critical delivery — they can be delayed by the OS for power management. Push is for "this must arrive."
