Two different Categories of local Notifications - ios

Question

I created two different functions that each create a new local notification.
func scheduleLocalNotification() {
// Create Notification Content
let notificationContent = UNMutableNotificationContent()
// Configure Notification Content
notificationContent.title = "Notif 1"
notificationContent.subtitle = "Local Notifications"
notificationContent.body = "hellow worlds."
// Set Category Identifier
notificationContent.categoryIdentifier = Notification.Category.tutorial
// Add Trigger
let notificationTrigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 10.0, repeats: false)
// Create Notification Request
let notificationRequest = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "cocoacasts_local_notification", content: notificationContent, trigger: notificationTrigger)
// Add Request to User Notification Center
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(notificationRequest) { (error) in
if let error = error {
print("Unable to Add Notification Request (\(error), \(error.localizedDescription))")
}
}
}
func scheduleLocalNotification2() {
// Create Notification Content
let notificationContent = UNMutableNotificationContent()
// Configure Notification Content
notificationContent.title = "Notif 2"
notificationContent.subtitle = "Local Notifications"
notificationContent.body = "hellow world + snooze"
// Set Category Identifier
notificationContent.categoryIdentifier = Notification.Category.tutorial
// Add Trigger
let notificationTrigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 10.0, repeats: false)
// Create Notification Request
let notificationRequest = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "cocoacasts_local_notification", content: notificationContent, trigger: notificationTrigger)
// Add Request to User Notification Center
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(notificationRequest) { (error) in
if let error = error {
print("Unable to Add Notification Request (\(error), \(error.localizedDescription))")
}
}
}
I want the first function to create a normal notification without any actions and the second to create a notification with action button. So I create the following function
func configureUserNotificationsCenter() {
// Configure User Notification Center
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
// Define Actions
let actionReadLater = UNNotificationAction(identifier: Notification.Action.readLater, title: "Read Later", options: [])
let actionShowDetails = UNNotificationAction(identifier: Notification.Action.showDetails, title: "Show Details", options: [.foreground])
let actionUnsubscribe = UNNotificationAction(identifier: Notification.Action.unsubscribe, title: "Unsubscribe", options: [.destructive, .authenticationRequired])
// Define Category
let tutorialCategory = UNNotificationCategory(identifier: Notification.Category.tutorial, actions: [actionReadLater, actionShowDetails, actionUnsubscribe], intentIdentifiers: [], options: [])
// Register Category
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().setNotificationCategories([tutorialCategory])
}
I then call the configureUserNotificationsCenter in viewdidload but this causes all my notifications to have these action buttons. I want only the notifications scheduled using the scheduleLocalNotifications2 function and the notifications with other functions should not have these action buttons. How do I go around making that?

Both methods are using a notificationContent.categoryIdentifier of Notification.Category.tutorial. This is the same category that you are specifying the buttons on, which is why it shows up for both. You need to create a second category identifier for your notification with no buttons
