Welcome to react-native-notify-kit Discussions!

[marcocrupi]

👋 Welcome

react-native-notify-kit is a community-maintained fork of Notifee, the feature-rich notification library for React Native. As of April 2026, the upstream Notifee repository has been officially archived by Invertase, who recommend this fork as a drop-in replacement alongside expo-notifications.

The fork preserves all of Notifee's advanced features (foreground services, rich styles, progress notifications, full-screen intents), migrates the bridge to React Native's New Architecture (TurboModules), and ships 17+ bug fixes for issues left unresolved upstream.

This is the place to ask questions, share ideas, and connect with other developers using the library.

📂 How to use this space

• 🙏 Q&A — Ask "how do I..." questions about using the library. Please search existing discussions first; many common questions may already be answered.
• 💡 Ideas — Propose new features or API improvements.
• 💬 General — Anything else related to the library.
• 📣 Announcements — Release notes and project updates (maintainer-only).

🐛 Found a bug?

Bug reports go in the issue tracker, not here. When opening a bug, please include:

• react-native-notify-kit version
• React Native version
• Platform (Android / iOS) and OS version
• Minimal reproduction
• Relevant logs (adb logcat or Xcode console)

Before opening a bug, please check the Bugs Fixed from Upstream Notifee table in the README — your issue may already be fixed in a recent release.

⚠️ Project status

This is a single-maintainer, best-effort open-source project. There is no SLA, no guaranteed response time, and no commercial support. Contributions, bug reports, and patient questions are all welcome.

The native core (NotifeeCore) is preserved unchanged from the original Notifee — only the React Native bridge is actively maintained and modified. The public API remains 100% compatible with @notifee/react-native.

Note that this fork makes a few opinionated default changes vs upstream (AlarmManager as default trigger backend, ongoing: true auto-set for foreground services, etc.) — see the Behavior changes from upstream section in the README before migrating.
