This plugin helps user to download medias for example pdf files, image files etc. A plugin for creating and managing download tasks. Supports iOS and Android.

This plugin is using native methods for push notifications for both platforms (Android & iOS). This is easy to use plugin.

You just need to add permissions in your manifest file for the push notification. And other permission for read external storage.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS" />

To make tapping on notification open the downloaded file on Android, add the following code to AndroidManifest.xml:

<provider
    android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:grantUriPermissions="true">
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>
