React Native Video Call Notification

Question

I am using react-native-agora for video calling app, i have successfully implemented the video calling function in react-native app. Now I want to show the user notification with Answer and Declined button, i have read out that react-native-callkeep will be helpful, but as i go through the docs, i found that it requires unnecessary permissions. I am using OneSignal to send notification, I just want the notification to keep vibrating/looping for some seconds untill the user decide to answer or decline the call.

Answer 1

To implement call notification, you need to integrate the Agora RTC SDK, the Agora RTM SDK, and platform-specific call APIs such as ConnectionService for Android, CallKit for iOS, and CallKeep for Flutter and React Native. The RTM SDK supports call notification only when the app is running. So, you also need to integrate platform-specific APIs to ensure that users can still receive call notifications when the app is on the background or the process is closed.

Agora officially supports provides documentation to help you integrate CallKeep.

Implementation

• Step 1: Integrate the RTC SDK and the RTM SDK Refer to the following articles to learn how to integrate the RTC SDK and the RTM SDK:

1. RTC SDK quickstart
2. RTM SDK quickstart

• Step 2: Use the RTM SDK to implement the basic functionalities of call invitation To implement call invitation for the RTM SDK, see Call Invitation.

• Step 3: Integrate platform-specific call APIs and implement call notification For the React Native platform, see CallKeep official documentation.

I would recommend this as the safest bet.
