Platform(s)

• Android (untested on IOS)

Current Behavior

Fresh install of the app.
The following code always returns true, even if no permissions have been granted yet:

import { PushNotifications } from '@capacitor/push-notifications';
const {receive} = await PushNotifications.checkPermissions();
console.log('granted' === receive); // true

Expected Behavior

receive should be prompt.

Additional Context

Since my device runs Android 13, I don't receive notifications anymore, even if the registration process successfully gets a token (without prompting the user). Behind the scenes, notification permission is not granted.
Temporary trick is to add package @capacitor/local-notifications which will prompt the user for notification permissions as soon as the app boots (not UX-friendly, but still better than nothing at all).
