In this post we’re going to cover the tutorial Notifications Tutorial Part 10 – DELETE NOTIFICATION CHANNELS – Android Studio Tutorial<\/a> and we’re going to be look at deleting notification channels.<\/p>\n

Overwrite<\/strong><\/p>\n

We can delete notification channels if they’re no longer required, so let’s create some code by changing the UI slightly and updating with a new message – ofcourse in a real-world scenario, it’s more likely you’re either deleting a channel that’s been dynamically created or deleting a legacy channel.<\/p>\n

Implementation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go to to MainPage.xaml and add<\/p>\n

\r\n<Button Text="Delete Channels" Clicked="DeleteChannel_OnClick" Margin="10" \/>\r\n<\/pre>\n
In the code behind MainPage.xaml.cs add the following<\/p>\n
\r\nprivate void DeleteChannel_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)\r\n{\r\n  _messenger.Send(new DeleteChannelData());\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
As you can see we’ve added a new class DeleteChannelData to be sent to anything that wishes to listen to tell them to delete a channel. The code for this is simply<\/p>\n
\r\npublic record DeleteChannelData;\r\n<\/pre>\n
(It’s just really the equivalent of a command).<\/p>\n
In the Android MainActivity constructor, add<\/p>\n
\r\nmessenger.Register<DeleteChannelData>(this, (recipient, message) =>\r\n{\r\n  if (Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= BuildVersionCodes.O)\r\n  {\r\n    if (GetSystemService(NotificationService) is NotificationManager manager)\r\n    {\r\n      \/\/ hard coded to delete channel 3\r\n      \/\/manager.DeleteNotificationChannel(MainApplication.Channel3Id);\r\n      manager.DeleteNotificationChannelGroup(MainApplication.Group1Id);\r\n    }\r\n  }\r\n});\r\n<\/pre>\n
So this receives the DeletChannelData message and deletes either channel 3 (commented out) or a given group via the NotificationManager. Notice this is NOT the NotificationManagerCompat.<\/p>\n
Now if you run this (after running the version prior to this) and go to the settings page for your application’s notifications (Settings | Apps & notifications) you’ll noticed it says something like 2 categories deleted<\/em> if you’re deleting Group1Id group. This is telling the user that something deleted the channels. <\/p>\n
