Android Question Ask user for notification permission at the first opening

[Mattiaf]

Hi, I've been looking all around about how to set permission in order to ask the user ( only at the first time the app is opened) to allow my app to send him notification.. I've tried with

AddPermission(android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS)

but at the startup, the app doesn't ask any permission...

You don't need it for now. The OS will show the dialog automatically. If not then you mistakenly set the targetSdkVersion to 33. Keep it on 31 for now.

dear Erel.
an example...
Why the os should show the dialog asking for notification permission if I will never send any notification ?

now my real case..
I m using firebase and until i wont send a notification, the os wont ask any permission for notification... is there any way to ask for notification permission as soon as the app is being opened for the first time? like all the big apps when u are starting them ( whatsapp, facebook etc)

Not until you increase the targetSdkVersion and I don't recommend it for now.

Maybe show a notification for a short moment when your app starts. It will cause the dialog to appear if needed.
