+## LOAD BEARING PATCH, DO NOT REMOVE
+
+## Expo-Notifications Patch
+
+This patch supports the Android background notification handling module. Incoming messages
+in `onMessageReceived` are sent to the module for handling.
+
+It also allows us to set the Android notification channel ID from the notification `data`, rather
+than the `notification` object in the payload.

+# Notifications extension plugin for Expo
+
+This plugin handles moving the necessary files into their respective iOS directories
+
+## Steps
+
+### ios
+
+1. Update entitlements
+2. Set the app group to group.<identifier>
+3. Add the extension plist
+4. Add the view controller
+5. Update the xcode project's build phases
+
+## Credits
