Group Push Notifications (thread-id)

ShMcK

It would be great if expo push notifications had a way to group notifications. This feature commonly goes by the key "thread-id".

It helps to prevent users from getting too many notifications of a similar type. Rather than seeing 10 notifications of type X, they will see one grouped message of 10 items.

There is now a threadIdentifier property on Expo! See: https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/notifications/#managing-notification-categories-interactive-notifications

Is this dead?

In need of this, I guess all we'd need is a new param in the expo push notification payload to specify android's collapse_key and ios' thread-id respectively

We need this! Especially for apps implementing a chat. You dont want to see 20 seperate notifications for 20 messages in one group chat.

Firebase Cloud Messaging has feature to send push notifications to "Topic", Notifications reaches to all devices subscribed to this "Topic". This solves many usecases where to deal with community of devices.

This would solve our use case perfectly.

This would also be helpful to separate Android push notifications.

Currently, I have another issue where notifications are all bundled together on android when the count reaches 4. When a user clicks on a notification group, deep linking is not working correctly.
