requestPermission() method associated with the AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class to requestNotificationsPermission(). Thanks to PR from Róger Ninow
requestPermission() method as the word "method" itself was missingrequestPermission() method associated with the AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin class to requestNotificationsPermission(). This was done to be more explicit given another method (requestExactAlarmsPermission()) has been added that also requests a permission (more details below).AndroidManifest.xml. This means applications making use of either scheduled notifications, full-screen intent notifications or notification actions will now require changes in the application's own AndroidManifest.xml file. Please check the AndroidManifest.xml setup section of the readme for more details. The reason this was done was because not all applications will leverage all of the plugin's features. Doing this will now allow applications to only request the appropriate permissions needed for their application. This addresses issue 1687

This change addresses issue 1906
