Post Notification in Android 13 Api level 33+ | Notification Permission | Kotlin Tutorial

Android 13 (API level 33) and higher supports a runtime permission for sending non-exempt (including Foreground Services (FGS)) notifications from an app: POST_NOTIFICATIONS. This change helps users focus on the notifications that are most important to them.

Android highly recommends that you target Android 13 or higher as soon as possible to benefit from the additional control and flexibility of this feature. If you continue to target 12L (API level 32) or lower, you lose some flexibility with requesting the permission in the context of your app's functionality.

Note: Apps don't need to request the POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission in order to launch a foreground service. However, apps must include a notification when they start a foreground service, just as they do on previous versions of Android.

Effects on newly-installed apps
If a user installs your app on a device that runs Android 13 or higher, your app's notifications are off by default. Your app must wait to send notifications until after you request the new permission and the user grants that permission to your app.

The time at which the permissions dialog appears is based on your app's target SDK version:

If your app targets Android 13 or higher, your app has complete control over when the permission dialog is displayed. Use this opportunity to explain to users why the app needs this permission, encouraging them to grant it.
If your app targets 12L (API level 32) or lower, the system shows the permission dialog the first time your app starts an activity after you create a notification channel, or when your app starts an activity and then creates its first notification channel. This is usually on app startup.

Effects on updates to existing apps
To minimize disruptions associated with the notification permission, the system automatically pre-grants the permission to all eligible apps when the user upgrades their device to Android 13 or higher. In other words, these apps can continue to send notifications to users, and users don't see a runtime permission prompt.

Note: Consider the case where an eligible app was installed on a device running 12L or lower that the user is discarding, and the user allowed notifications on that old device. The user now has a new device that runs Android 13 or higher and restores the app using the backup and restore feature.

In this situation, the system considers your app to be an "existing app," so the system automatically grants the permission to your app so that your app can continue to send notifications.
