Notifications are an excellent way to engage your users or to get them to go back to your application. You can also use notifications to make users pay attention to something while they’re using the app.
There are two types of notifications:
- Push Notifications
- Local Notifications
As the title of this article suggests, we won’t be focusing on Push notifications (also because it is something that has been documented heavily). Instead, we will only focus on local notifications. The difference between the two stems from one major point:
Local notifications originate from the application itself, as opposed to Push notifications which are triggered from a remote server.
For this article, we will be using the vanilla project that is created when you open a new Flutter application (the one with the counter) – minus all the related counter bits.
As of writing this article, the latest version of Flutter is 5.0.0+1, so for any future readers, please bear this in mind.
