[FEATURE] Rich content in notifications

[dpa99c]

For anyone else seeing this:

Android: it's not (currently) possible to display pictures within system notifications

iOS: I don't believe there's an automated solution that this plugin could provide in order to display pictures within system notifications on iOS.
The reason being that it requires creating a Notification Service Extension in Xcode with its own separate Apple App ID and Provisioning profile. This does not work well in a Cordova project where the Xcode project is volatile.
Anyone wishing to attempt this will need to do some manually by following a guide such as this as @heidji did.
So I'm closing this as it's not something this plugin can help with.

It seems from this blog post that this is possible for iOS notifications, but not trivial (requires a "notification service extension").

For Android, it seems that rich notification content is not directly supported by FCM or by Android in its system notifications (displayed when app receives a notification message while app is in background/not running). However, it may be feasible to construct a foreground (local) notification using an FCM notification/data message and augment this to display the rich content (see here).

So I'll adjust the title of this for the benefit of both platforms.

i did try some of these blog posts without luck and suspected that it might have something to do that the plugin already handles the notification (?)
please advise on how to proceed. I'm only talking about iOS here.

actually was able to implement it using this guide .
Are you sure there is no way to do it with the plugin ? :D

there is also a fun issue: after adding a "new target" to an ionic generated xcode project any subsequent build by cordova fails with:
Error during processing of action! Attempting to revert... Could not parse app.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: Could not find *-Info.plist file, or config.xml file.

thanks for the explanation. i really did hope I wouldn't have to create a new extension in xCode each time i run a new build
