Topic: Android Push Notifications - Enhancements
I am in the process of migrating from another app over to Next Episode. In doing so, I noticed some differences with regard to push notifications which could be improved. Please see the screenshots below comparing Next Episode's push notifications to another app:
1. Would it be possible to add an image, episode name, episode number, and airdate/time similar to how is displayed in the other app's push notification as seen in the screenshot below? (if I'm not mistaken, I believe this has already been implemented for the iOS app but not Android)
2. Would it be possible to change the time the push notification is sent? For example, right now the notification is sent 15 minutes before airing, but it would be nice to have a setting to be send it at the time of airing instead.
3. As seen in the screenshot below, it appears that each new episode triggers 2 push notifications (one 15 minutes before airing as seen in the previous screenshot, and another 14 minutes past midnight). Why is the 2nd notification being generated at 12:14am and is there any way to disable it?
4. As seen in the screenshot below, when multiple episodes are released at the same time, it appears that Next Episode consolidates them into 1 notification. Instead, would it be possible to send individual notifications for each episode similar to how is shown by the notification by the other app in the screenshot? This would be more beneficial so we could view the episode info (image, episode name/number/time) for each individual episode released from within the notifications. Android already groups multiple notifications by app as seen in the screenshot so it doesn't look like there would be any downside to this. Furthermore, it would be especially useful in cases when multiple episodes from the same Series are released at the same time (as was the case in the screenshot for the Series called The Recruit) so we know multiple episodes were released instead of thinking it was just 1.
