Hello guys. I have island installed and have my "work profile" installed, which contains among others my browser in the island tab. The situation is that I have several PWAs that I dont want to receive notifications for while I am at work as they are distracting and unnecessarily annoying, but I want to receive them normally while not at work.
I have been trying to figure out how to get it set up so that I can both trigger the actions at scheduled times, or manually through the quick tile I created from macrodroid (my work hours are not really stable/fixed).
However, when testing with a push notification testing site, regardless what I do I still get the notifications.
Here is my setup so far:
Macros:
Enable Work Profile
--------------------------
Triggers:
Day/Time: 08:00 Mon, Fri
Quick Tile On/Press
Actions:
Action 1:
Target: Broadcast
Send Intent: island.intent.action.FREEZE_APP
Extra 1: package_name = com.brave.browser
Action 2:
Display Notification (with a message saying work mode enabled)
Constraints: None
Disable Work Profile
--------------------------
Triggers:
Quick Tile Off
Actions:
Action 1:
Target: Broadcast
Send Intent: island.intent.action.UNFREEZE_APP
Extra 1: package_name = com.brave.browser
Action 2:
Display Notification (with a message saying work mode disabled)
Constraints:
Day of the Week: Mon
Time of Day: 19:00 - 19:01
------------------- OR --------------------------
Day of the Week: Fri
Time of Day: 22:00 - 22:01
Some things to note:
I am using /e/os version 3.0.1-t-20250606498724-official-FP5 Android is version 13
What am I doing wrong here? Ideally I would like to have as few apps installed as possible to achieve a single task, but as I understand it macrodroid doesnt have the necessary permissions to affect other apps notifications (hence why island is necessary).
If there is another way which is easier to achieve what I am trying to do I'm all ears, however I do not want to use do not disturb for this purpose because obviously I need to be able to use my phone normally while at work except for those 2-3 apps I dont want to receive notifications for, but there are also situations where I want a full DND experience where I will get nothing coming through, not even alarms (e.g. meetings/classes, etc). Also for those unfamiliar with /e/os, it doesn't currently have the Focus Mode feature so that is also out of the picture.
Many thanks in advance!
