Local Notifications stacking ?

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if it is currently possible to stack local notifications using the current API. Reading the current documentation I didn’t find any information about.

If it is not currently possible, is it planned to implement this ?

I don’t believe we support stacking in Corona SDK.  I’m not sure what is possible in Enterprise though.  Given that the team is working on getting OS-X and Windows x86 apps out the door, supporting stacked notifications isn’t a priority right now.  I would suggest using our feature request site at http://feedback.coronalabs.com and get this voted up.

This really should be a high priority issue. Google Play will NOT feature an app that does not stack its notifications appropriately. Google see “not stacking” as poor UX for Android. As such we have unfortunately had to limit QuizTix to just 1 notification of each type. That’s really not good.

Come on, we all want to see more Corona apps featured by Google and Apple! :slight_smile:

In case it helps, this is the specific “must fix” notice you will receive from Google Play if you do not stack your notifications:

  • If your app creates a notification while another of the same type is still pending, avoid creating a new notification object. Instead, stack the notification. For more info:

Did you go vote this feature up?

We certainly did :-).
