I'm having the same issue, if you find a solution or workaround could you please share?

[robertfriston]

I also have similar issue, just want a repeating notification 'every day' (at whatever time) - works on IOS but not on Android

[Steffaan]

@mschristo @coleweusthem
I'm trying to reproduce this but I can't manage to reproduce it with the given example in this issue.

I used the exact same code as mentioned, only changed the day to the current date and see the following in the adb logs:

Notification gets triggered only once (which is correct) and the logs show that the next trigger will be in 2020, which is also correct.

Uninstall your app completely and try a fresh install. This will wipe any notification channels created earlier (from the original plugin). Since this fork supports mulitple channels you can create your own channels, so try to define a channel in your notification too while your at it.

@robertfriston
Could you provide your JS code so I can test it as well? Perhaps I can reproduce the error with your code.

Hello @Steffaan,

thank you for your answer but i still having troubles making this works. Can you please share your project that this functions works (i assume it's an example code project). Also i cannot see the "next trigger..." log in my logcat

[Steffaan]

@mschristo

Sure, it's an empty cordova project where I added the plugin and your code snippet

https://ufile.io/binhc

(don't forget to change the time of the notification)

[mschristo]

In your cordova project it's running as expected. But in my ionic project it did not. Here is my project in case you want to take a look:

https://ufile.io/m9zmk

When the notification triggers, it runs multiple times until the app crash. Here is a screenshot of this :

[gotters]

In case this helps I have never been able to get "Every" working, not in this fork or the original branch.
I manually create my schedule (ie each scheduled task) and then refresh that schedule as time goes by.
Still even in Android 8 after the first 1 or 2 notifications (across 1 or 2 days) it stops. I am trying it now in this fork to see if works.

Here's the bug report for the same issue from the original source:
https://github.com/Steffaan/cordova-plugin-local-notifications

Before people start going on about setting count - I'll say it again adding count does not work (it doesn't get used when every is present) when you have repeats so stop putting it forward as a solution - IT DOES NOT WORK FOR THAT USE CASE.
