Am getting below error on my Samsung phone running android 10. i have been try to fix this for days now and no luck.

I have added
<uses-permission android:name="com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ" />

to my AndroidManifest file and no luck still.
I would appreciate your help.

Does it need a runtime permission? Have you tried?

I have searched on how to add a runtime permission for this and couldn't find any. I will appreciate it if you can help me out on how to request runtime permission for it or point me to any docs that explained how it's done.
Thanks

Try to add the permissions code into manifest.xml , refer to https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/issues/1171#issuecomment-244363766.

For runtime Permission Checks refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/app-fundamentals/permissions?tabs=windows#runtime-permission-checks-in-android-60.

I tried doing this
if (ContextCompat.CheckSelfPermission(this, Manifest.Permission.Camera) == (int)Permission.Granted)
{
// We have permission, go ahead and use the camera.
}

but i can't seem to find anything badge or it's related on Manifest.Permission properties.
Could you help me if you know how i can add badge permission at runtime
Thanks

Try to integrate Badge into your project to see if problem persists.
