Description

On iOS if you use cancel it wont hide a notification if it is already showing.
While on android it will remove pending and shown notification.

I think the best would be add a remove method:

  • cancel/cancelAll : remove pending
  • remove/removeAll: remove shown

Research direction

Start by locating the @nativescript/local-notifications implementations of cancel and cancelAll on iOS and Android, then compare how pending and already-shown notifications are handled. Done means the API consistently distinguishes canceling pending notifications from removing shown notifications, with behavior covered for both platforms.
