Our Timer template enables you to include a timer in your notification, while the Progress Bar variant allows you to add a progress bar to the timer. And with the Rating template, you can allow your users to submit ratings over a notification. These templates can lead to increased engagement and a better user experience.
Prerequisites - These 3 templates are currently available for only Android currently.- Android SDK version 3.3.0 onwards. SDK is released now, please upgrade your SDK to use this feature!
- IA2.0 should be enabled.
