MAUI Android Samsung

[jbloink]

I've tested notifications in the Android emulator (on Visual Studio 2022 17.5.0 Preview 2.0) and everything seems to work great. I have tested it recurring every 5 minutes and it works as expected. I've tried closing the app on the emulator and the notification still fires (as expected).

When I connect my Samsung Galaxy S22+ and deploy to it through Visual Studio 2022, the notifications never fire. Is this a known issue with Samsung phones or do I need to do something different when deploying to a physical device? When I install the app on the physical device, it prompts if I want to enable notifications, which I accept. I am deploying in debug mode, which might also be the issue.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated. I've been trying to research/troubleshoot this for the past couple of days but I can't find much on it.

I have this in my MauiProgram.cs, and my physical device is Android 13 (API v33).

#if IOS || ANDROID33_0_OR_GREATER
.UseLocalNotification()
#endif

Below is my code. I am targeting .NET7.

public async void ConfigureNotifications()
{
if (await LocalNotificationCenter.Current.AreNotificationsEnabled() == false)
{
await LocalNotificationCenter.Current.RequestNotificationPermission();
}

        //Set the notification for 12pm on Sundays
        var scheduleddatetime = DateTime.Now;
        var nextSunday = scheduleddatetime.AddDays(7 - (int)scheduleddatetime.DayOfWeek).Date;
        var nextSundayAtNoon = nextSunday.AddHours(12);

        var notification = new NotificationRequest
        {
            NotificationId = 100,
            Title = "MKIPA",
            Description = "Be sure to log your IPAs for the week",
            ReturningData = "Dummy data", 
            Schedule =
            {
                NotifyTime = nextSundayAtNoon, 
                NotifyRepeatInterval = TimeSpan.FromDays(7)
            }
        };
        await LocalNotificationCenter.Current.Show(notification);
    }

Thanks in advance!

@jbloink Have you confirmed notification setting is actually enabled?

[jbloink]

@thudugala - you are correct, notifications weren't enabled, even though I enabled them when the app first launched. I assumed by enabling them during the initial install they would be enabled, but they were not for some reason. Thanks for the follow up!

Please how did you enable the notifications on Samsung Galaxy s22 because I have the same exact concern as you.
