How to ask for notifications permission on Android using react-native 0.68?

Quick Fix: In AndroidManifest.xml, add this line:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS"/>

Create a function to request permission using this code:

import { Platform,PermissionsAndroid } from 'react-native';

const requestNotificationPermission = async () => {
  if(Platform.OS ==="android"){
    try {
      PermissionsAndroid.check('android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS').then(
        response => {
          if(!response){
            PermissionsAndroid.request('android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS',{
                title: 'Notification',
                message:
                  'App needs access to your notification ' +
                  'so you can get Updates',
                buttonNeutral: 'Ask Me Later',
                buttonNegative: 'Cancel',
                buttonPositive: 'OK',
            })
          }
        }
      ).catch(
        err => {
          console.log("Notification Error=====&gt;",err);
        }
      )
    } catch (err){
      console.log(err);
    }
  }
};

Call requestNotificationPermission() to request Android Notification permission.
