Is there any way to know the result of the notification that we have sent using NotificationManager ?

Recently, I found an issue with my notifications because I was not using Android 8.0 channels, so many users were not receiving them: https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/channels

However, I didn't realize the issue until I saw it myself in my phone.

Also, I am using Google Analytics to track how many users are receiving notifications. However, I couldn't see the issue this way (I has having a lot of false positives).

The code is very simple and looks like this:

private void sendNotification(int id, String title, String message, int color) 

 if (userWantsToReceiveThisNotification)
 Notification notification = buildNotification(); // This method now also creates a Notification Channel
 notificationManager.notify(id, notification);
 sendAnalyticsEvent();
 

What I am looking for is some kind of result to the notify action, as it may succeed, or not, depending on user config, app config from settings, or even a wrong setup (which was my case).

What I am expecting is something like

boolean success = notificationManger.notify(id, notification);

or

notificationManger.notify(id, notification, callbackTellingSuccess);

so I can track correctly the amount of users that actually received the notification.

Thank you very much.
