Description

Info

"@nativescript/local-notifications": "^6.4.0",
"@nativescript/android": "8.9.1",
"@nativescript/firebase-messaging": "5.0.2",

Problem

Both LocalNotifications.hasPermission() and LocalNotifications.requestPermissions() return false in a application with already given permissions for push notifications. This does not allow for usage of the LocalNotifications.schedule with error
This piece of code
const authStatus = await firebase() .messaging() .requestPermission(<any>{});
console.log('Android - checking notification permissions ...', authStatus);
const aceptedLocalNotifications = await LocalNotifications.hasPermission();
console.log('Android - LocalNotifications.requestPermission', aceptedLocalNotifications);

returns
Android - checking notification permissions ... 0
Android - LocalNotifications.requestPermission false

Error

Error in LocalNotifications.requestPermission: Error: Permission not granted

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Android behavior with @nativescript/local-notifications 6.4.0, @nativescript/android 8.9.1, and @nativescript/firebase-messaging 5.0.2. Trace LocalNotifications.hasPermission(), requestPermissions(), and firebase().messaging().requestPermission(); done means granted notification permissions are recognized and LocalNotifications.schedule no longer fails with Permission not granted.
