New Functions

Foreground Notification Control

In version 3, you can now specifically read notification data that will display while the app is in focus as well as change the display type dynamically. This allows developers to have even greater control over the notification experience.

Replaces inFocusDisplaying() functionality.

setNotificationWillShowInForegroundHandler Function

Runs before displaying a notification while the app is in focus. Use this handler to decide if the notification should show or not.

Note: this runs after the Notification Service Extension which can be used to modify the notification before showing it (native code).

The callback accepts the parameter OSNotification.

window.plugins.OneSignal.setNotificationWillShowInForegroundHandler(function(notificationReceivedEvent) {
  notificationReceivedEvent.complete(notificationReceivedEvent.notification);
});

the callback argument object has two functions:

FieldDescription
complete()Show Notification:
Pass the notification to this function in order to display it while the app is in the foreground.

Silence Notification:
If you would like to silence the notification, call complete(null) with a null argument.
notificationRetrieves the notification object.

This returned object is of class (OSNotification).

Observers

Each callback you pass to an observer adder function will receive a state change object when fired that contains two parameters: to and from. The parameters on those objects are the same between the two. This format allows for the detection of the previous state and the new state.

Example: a change in the subscription state of the device might see the isSubscribed parameter change from false to true. You can detect the change by the event.from.isSubscribed and event.to.isSubscribed objects.
