GI.Gio.Objects.Notification

Description

Notification is a mechanism for creating a notification to be shown to the user -- typically as a pop-up notification presented by the desktop environment shell.

The key difference between Notification and other similar APIs is that, if supported by the desktop environment, notifications sent with Notification will persist after the application has exited, and even across system reboots.

Since the user may click on a notification while the application is not running, applications using Notification should be able to be started as a D-Bus service, using Application.

In order for Notification to work, the application must have installed a .desktop file. For example: > > [Desktop Entry] > Name=Test Application > Comment=Description of what Test Application does > Exec=gnome-test-application > Icon=org.gnome.TestApplication > Terminal=false > Type=Application > Categories=GNOME;GTK;TestApplication Category; > StartupNotify=true > DBusActivatable=true > X-GNOME-UsesNotifications=true

The X-GNOME-UsesNotifications key indicates to GNOME Control Center that this application uses notifications, so it can be listed in the Control Center’s ‘Notifications’ panel.

The .desktop file must be named as org.gnome.TestApplication.desktop, where org.gnome.TestApplication is the ID passed to applicationNew.

User interaction with a notification (either the default action, or buttons) must be associated with actions on the application (ie: "app." actions). It is not possible to route user interaction through the notification itself, because the object will not exist if the application is autostarted as a result of a notification being clicked.

A notification can be sent with applicationSendNotification.

toNotification :: (MonadIO m, IsNotification o) => o -> m Notification Source #

Methods

addButton

notificationAddButton Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsNotification a) 
=> a

notification: a Notification

-> Text

label: label of the button

-> Text

detailedAction: a detailed action name

-> m () 

Adds a button to notification that activates the action in detailedAction when clicked. That action must be an application-wide action (starting with "app."). If detailedAction contains a target, the action will be activated with that target as its parameter.

See actionParseDetailedName for a description of the format for detailedAction.

Since: 2.40

addButtonWithTarget

notificationAddButtonWithTarget Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsNotification a) 
=> a

notification: a Notification

-> Text

label: label of the button

-> Text

action: an action name

-> Maybe GVariant

target: a GVariant to use as action's parameter, or Nothing

-> m () 

Adds a button to notification that activates action when clicked. action must be an application-wide action (it must start with "app.").

If target is non-Nothing, action will be activated with target as its parameter.

Since: 2.40

new

notificationNew Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Text

title: the title of the notification

-> m Notification

Returns: a new Notification instance

Creates a new Notification with title as its title.

After populating notification with more details, it can be sent to the desktop shell with applicationSendNotification. Changing any properties after this call will not have any effect until resending notification.

Since: 2.40

setBody

notificationSetBody Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsNotification a) 
=> a

notification: a Notification

-> Maybe Text

body: the new body for notification, or Nothing

-> m () 

Sets the body of notification to body.

Since: 2.40

setCategory

notificationSetCategory Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsNotification a) 
=> a

notification: a Notification

-> Maybe Text

category: the category for notification, or Nothing for no category

-> m () 

Sets the type of notification to category. Categories have a main type like email, im or device and can have a detail separated by a ., e.g. im.received or email.arrived. Setting the category helps the notification server to select proper feedback to the user.

Standard categories are listed in the specification.

Since: 2.70

setDefaultAction

notificationSetDefaultAction Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsNotification a) 
=> a

notification: a Notification

-> Text

detailedAction: a detailed action name

-> m () 

Sets the default action of notification to detailedAction. This action is activated when the notification is clicked on.

The action in detailedAction must be an application-wide action (it must start with "app."). If detailedAction contains a target, the given action will be activated with that target as its parameter. See actionParseDetailedName for a description of the format for detailedAction.

When no default action is set, the application that the notification was sent on is activated.

Since: 2.40

setDefaultActionAndTarget

notificationSetDefaultActionAndTarget Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsNotification a) 
=> a

notification: a Notification

-> Text

action: an action name

-> Maybe GVariant

target: a GVariant to use as action's parameter, or Nothing

-> m () 

Sets the default action of notification to action. This action is activated when the notification is clicked on. It must be an application-wide action (start with "app.").

If target is non-Nothing, action will be activated with target as its parameter. If target is floating, it will be consumed.

When no default action is set, the application that the notification was sent on is activated.
