Notifications are one of the few ways to reach users when they're not actively in your app, and this 10-lesson course covers both flavors React Native supports: local notifications triggered from within the app, and push notifications sent from a server.

What's covered

  • The practical differences between local and push notifications, and when each fits
  • Setting up and triggering local notifications
  • Connecting your app to EAS and configuring a custom dev client for iOS and Android
  • Sending push notifications with Expo and triggering actions — like navigating to a specific screen via deep link — when one is received

The goal is a working notification system you can adapt to real apps, not just a demo that fires once in a simulator.
