How to prevent alert with incoming OneSignal notification?

Question

I use OneSignal push notifications. When android app is in foreground and receives a notification, it creates an alert box with the notification. How to prevent this from appearing when receiving notifications?

Is the receiver implemented inside an activity? If it is that might be the problem. Try making the receiver a separate class. — Quintin Balsdon, Dec 16 '16 at 12:03
Here is a similar question about ios [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40165840/how-do-i-prevent-alert-when-app-is-on-foreground-with-incoming-onesignal-push-no?rq=1) So I think it could be solved by disabling some option, because it creates alert by default. — user3671635, Dec 16 '16 at 13:30

From The SDK documentation - When you startInit OneSignal, make sure to call inFocusDisplaying with "None" to disable OneSignal's in app AlertBox.

also on NotificationReceivedHandler section -

Important behavior notes - If you will be displaying your own in app message when a notification is received make sure to call inFocusDisplaying with None to disable OneSignal's in app AlertBox.

As for the latest version of OneSignal SDK, seems that's deprecated right now. Seems https://documentation.onesignal.com/v7.0/docs/sdk-reference#app-in-focus-notification-display is now the way to go – davidlj95 Sep 20 '21 at 09:24

Using this code line, I resolved my issue.

OneSignal.inFocusDisplaying(2);

It's changed in OneSignal 4.0.

For Kotlin:

OneSignal.setNotificationWillShowInForegroundHandler { notificationReceivedEvent ->
    notificationReceivedEvent.complete(null)
}

For Java:

OneSignal.setNotificationWillShowInForegroundHandler(new NotificationWillShowInForegroundHandler() {
  @Override
  void notificationWillShowInForeground(OSNotificationReceivedEvent notificationReceivedEvent) {    
     notificationReceivedEvent.complete(null);
  }
});

I had similar issues and I resolved it by using inFocusDisplaying

here's how to use this in android.

    public class MyApplicationClass extends Application {

private static Context context;
PlayerIdsession session;

public static Context getContext() {
    return context;
}

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    context = getApplicationContext();
    //MyNotificationOpenedHandler : This will be called when a notification is tapped on.
    //MyNotificationReceivedHandler : This will be called when a notification is received while your app is running.
    OneSignal.startInit(this)
            .setNotificationOpenedHandler(new MyNotiOpenedHandler())
            .setNotificationReceivedHandler( new MyNotiReceivedHandler() )
            .inFocusDisplaying(OneSignal.OSInFocusDisplayOption.Notification)
            .init();

    OneSignal.idsAvailable(new OneSignal.IdsAvailableHandler() {
        @Override
        public void idsAvailable(String userId, String registrationId) {

            if (userId != null){
                session=new PlayerIdsession(context);
                session.savePlayerId(userId);
                Log.d("debug", "PlayerId:" + userId);
            }

           /* if (registrationId != null){
                Log.d("debug", "registrationId:" + registrationId);
        }*/

        }
    });
}
}

Just add this line in your windows.plugin.signal

.inFocusDisplaying(window.plugins.OneSignal.OSInFocusDisplayOption.Notification)

for example :-

window.plugins.OneSignal
.startInit("YOUR_APPID")
.inFocusDisplaying(window.plugins.OneSignal.OSInFocusDisplayOption.Notification)
.endInit();
