Android Question NB6 functionality

[App Dude]

I'm looking into NB6 to work around an issue but unclear on if it will solve my problem:
The issue is that I need a background GPS-position receiver to measure distance, but it's sending notifications to keep itself alive in case the OS kills it. I don't want the audible ding for that notifications, but I need the audible ding for my other application notifications, and Android settings is all or nothing.

- Looking at NB6 code quickly, I see it's using Java objects. Will it work on iOS?
- Also, will this send notifications when the app is not in the foreground, or when the screen is off? Asking because I don't see what in the Service class would trigger the notifications.

As far as i know no. It is a B4A only Lib

The Notification "you build" and send to the system from within the fm_MessageArrived Event inside the FirebaseMessaging Service.

NB6 is B4A only, for B4I you need

FirebaseNotifications / Push Messages (server not required)

or

UserNotificationCenter class

A class that creates local notifications based on the newer iOS 10+ API. The notifications are configured to show even when the app is in the foreground. You can also add actions to the notifications: See the attached example

Okay, I'm still going to tinker with this then... I'll just have to implement the iOS version separately.

Still need to figure out if it will send these notifications when the app is not in the foreground or if the screen is off.
