Android Question Is there a way to automatically 'allow' Notifications for B4A apps

I added 'ToastMessageShow' to an app recently and it did not work.

I found the following forum entry.

which led me to go to 'Settings'/'Notifications' and turn on the 'Notifications'. The 'ToastMessageShow' started working.

The reference above seemed to imply that the problem might have occurred during some past B4A update.

My questions are:
1. When we create a new app, does it handle turning on the 'Notifications' automatically for a new user?

2. or, if not, is there a permission for the manifest or in-line code that will force it on?

3. or, do I have to give the user(s) instructions on setting it on?

I have also been using a 'scheduler' class that I picked up somewhere (can't find the reference) that fires local notifications.

If I include that logic in a new app, will I have the same problem with permissions?

Thanks, Cliff McKibbin
