The Notification Runtime Permission

Request notification permission on Android 13+.

The Notification Permission

Starting with Android 13 (API 33), apps must request a runtime permission to post notifications: POST_NOTIFICATIONS. Without it, your notifications are silently blocked.

Why It Was Added

Before Android 13, notifications were on by default and users had to dig into Settings to mute noisy apps. The runtime permission flips this: users now explicitly opt in, reducing spam.
