How do I detect screen notch on Android?

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I am not able to detect if the mobile screen has a notch on Android phone.

PlatformInfo.SafeAreaInsetTop and PlatformInfo.SafeAreaInsetBottom always return 0, with or without the notch.

I tried Viewport fit: Auto and Cover, doesn't make any difference.

.

I'm using developer options to emulate the notch on my phone, but many other apps and games detect it correctly.

If anyone has an Android phone with a real screen notch, could you test it please? Here is the project file and debug APK.

Here's what it looks like on mine... Although my screen is so tall the game doesn't even make it up there :p

oosyrag Thanks! SafeAreaInsetTop and SafeAreaInsetBottom are still 0.

I wonder if Fullscreen mode setting matters.. Could you test it with "Scale inner"?

I tried to make "viewport fit: cover" and produced the apk and the result is

My bad, it was 1080 x 2246 pixels & 18.7:9 ratio.

The result is the same as the one which is on PlayStore. The quick-access buttons seem to appear behind the notch. I think you should keep some minimal margin for the notch area.

Still goes fullscreen into the notch area.

Honestly it doesn't bother me and I don't see it affecting gameplay, but my notch is small so I guess be annoying for someone with a larger one. Then again, choosing not to use the notch area for fullscreen is available as a setting in Android so the user can control it.

Time for a feature request?

So, it's better, not to cover the viewport, I guess. Let the notch visible?

One thing we should keep in our mind How the scale-outer react on 4K display? [1440 x 2960 pixels, 18.5:9 ratio] While viewport fit "AUTO".

I don't know about IOS, but it seems like "Viewport fit" setting has no effect on Android, and Platform.SafeAreaInset* expressions don't work either. Looks like a bug to me.. Wonder why no one has noticed this before.
