Make notification optional

[natemartins]

Make displaying downloading and download completed notification optional. For some us that would like to implement custom notification in our apps.

I second this

[stevechang-emoney]

this worked for me
await downloadToFolder(data.fileUrl, data.fileName, data.folder, channelId, null);

Edit: I also didn't initialize the notification channel

[natemartins]

In my case, I didn't initialise the notification channel. I used

await downloadToFolder(data.fileUrl, data.fileName, data.folder)

Then, used the download progress option to determine when to display my custom notification.

Nonetheless, it would still be nice having it as an option.

How about check this code? - kathawala/expo-file-dl-example#20

You should be able to do the following:

await downloadToFolder(data.fileUrl, data.fileName, data.folder, channelId, {notificationType: {notification: 'none'}});

to disable notifications altogether.

If you want to change the look / color / text of the notifications, you can do this also. All of this is detailed here: https://github.com/kathawala/expo-file-dl#downloadtofolder

Let me know if that doesn't work
