Expected Behavior

No Crash

Additional Info

It seems like this is happening when the notification system signs up during boot, before the user unlocked his device. (source). Looking at the manifest of this it is exactly what is happening (here, and here)

Is it possible to disable these manifest values without forking the whole repository?

Is it somehow possible to disable the "directBoot" awareness without forking the whole repository? Nobody else having an production app and is seeing this issue?

Hi. We had a similar issue. To override this behaviour we added the following piece of code to app AndroidManifest:

<receiver
            android:name="com.capacitorjs.plugins.localnotifications.LocalNotificationRestoreReceiver"
            android:exported="false"
            tools:node="replace">

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
            </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Hope this helps.
