Notification for android not working [ Drawable.icon ]

[cipherleaf]

I'm building an android app in buildozer with plyer. It seems that the notification don't work.
My simple code for notification using plyer:

notification.notify(title='WARNING!', message='This is a sample warning!')

It works on my computer but when I built it for android and run it on my phone, the app crashes when it tries to send a notification. It says that there's no attribute icon for the app in _set_icons.py. I tried to look into it, but I don't know what should I do.

buildozer.spec

requirements = python3,kivy,plyer,android

logs

After days of researching, coding and debugging, I have finally figured out the error and fixed it with a work-around.

The logs returns an AttributeError which says:
AttributeError: type object 'com.test.notification.R$drawable' has no attribute 'icon'

It turns out that the class R$drawable no longer has an icon attribute but has a presplash attribute. Just like the icon, this attribute is also a png and can be replaced.

So in plyer/platforms/android/notification.py, in line 100 I made this changes:

from:

 app_icon = Drawable.icon

change to:

 app_icon = Drawable.presplash

Then it works!

Ps. This is not a resoultion as stated by @lydiym, just a workaround to make the app works.

Hello! Issue is still actual. Build sources patching isn't good resolution. It should be fixed in plyer sources.

It should be fixed in plyer sources.

Hello, you are right. I reopened the issue and edited my last comment. Thanks :)

How do you install plyer? What OS are you using?

Plyer latest release (Release v2.0.0) was on last Nov 2020, the merged commits since then are not yet included when you install plyer using pip install plyer. The workaround is to reinstall it using the latest master branch in this repo. To do that you need to run:

pip install https://github.com/kivy/plyer/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Also, if you are using buildozer to build to apk, you need to specify the same link on your requirements instead of using plyer.

 requirements = python,kivy,https://github.com/kivy/plyer/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Hope this helps.
