Only allow push notifications during certain time of the day in xamarin.forms app

Question

In my app, I need to give the users the options to not allow push notifications during certain time of the day that they prefer. For example, the users may want push notifications to be turned from 12:00am to 7:00am. How can I turn off the notifications during that time?

Hi WeiWen-3421,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

To allow users to choose a certain period of time to disable notification, you can add two TimePickers in you page.

<TimePicker x:Name="startTime"/>  
<TimePicker x:Name="endTime"/>  

You can get the demo of notification from this document.

You only need to add the following code into method OnSendClick.

void OnSendClick(object sender, EventArgs e)  
{  
    TimeSpan current = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;  
    TimeSpan start = startTime.Time;  
    TimeSpan end = endTime.Time;  
    if (current < start || end < current)  
        notificationManager.SendNotification(title, message);  
}  

Regards,
Kyle

Hi KyleWang-MSFT,

Sorry about the mixed IDs. I think there is an issue about who logged in. I used my own email address, but somehow it got mixed with another account. I posted the previous comment. I think your solution does not work for remote push notification.
