Why is react native blocking notifications on android?

I am using notifee to create notifications in a react native app. I noticed, by default notifications get blocked by android (See under Settings->Apps->My App). Do I have to set the permission somewhere in my app?

When I enable notifications in the Apps-Settings, they work fine, but I’d like them to be enabled when installing the apk.

    Yes, You have to explicitly request notifications permission if you targets Android 13.

    Paste the following line in AndroidManifest.xml:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATION"/>

    And then in your app:

    import { PermissionsAndroid } from 'react-native' 

const requestNotificationPermission = async () => {
try {
  await PermissionsAndroid.request(
    PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.POST_NOTIFICATION
  )
} catch (err) {
  if (_DEV_) console.warn('requestNotificationPermission error: ', err)
 }
}

    Permission could be named "POST_NOTIFICATION" or "POST_NOTIFICATIONS", depending on your RN version.

    There is no need to request notification permission explicitly in android, even POST_NOTIFICATION is also deprecated,
    In android by default notification is enabled, until & unless you turnoff forcefully, for a simple solution,
    as you are using notifee, I will recommend using
    requestPermission function inside your parent/App.js component

    useEffect(() => {
    (async () => {
      // ask for notification permission
      await notifee.requestPermission();
    })();

    return () => {
      // this now gets called when the component unmounts
    };
  }, []);
