I’m quite new on android studio and I’m trying to create a service that collects every notification that arrives at the phone, writing it on firebase and another application that shows the content of the firebase.

Everything works as expected (The collection & uploading to firebase, fetch when the permissions are granted manually).

The only thing that I’m missing – is to verify in runtime if the application have the needed permissions or not (It’s always false, like I’m asking the wrong thing).

This is what I’m trying to do:

        // Check and request notification permission if not granted
        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE)
                != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            Log.d("MainActivity", "Permissions not granted, asking for it from user!");            
            requestNotificationAccess();
        } else {
            Log.d("MainActivity", "Permissions are granted, running service!");
            startNotificationService();
        }

On my AndroidManifest.xml I have:

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

<service
    android:name=".NotificationService"
    android:label="Notification Service"
    android:permission="android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE"
    android:exported="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.service.notification.NotificationListenerService" />
    </intent-filter>
</service>

Thanks
