Detailed Description
The NotificationManager singleton type provides a QML API only.
The type is derived from QAbstractListModel and can be directly used as a model in notification views.
Each item in this model corresponds to an active notification.
The following roles are available in this model - also take a look at the freedesktop.org specification for an in-depth explanation of these fields and how clients should populate them:
| Role name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id | int | The unique id of this notification. |
applicationId | string | The id of the application that created this notification. This can be used to look up information about the application in the ApplicationManager model. Note: The |
priority | int | See the client side documentation of Notification::priority |
summary | string | See the client side documentation of Notification::summary |
body | string | See the client side documentation of Notification::body |
category | string | See the client side documentation of Notification::category |
icon | url | See the client side documentation of Notification::icon |
image | url | See the client side documentation of Notification::image |
actions | object | See the client side documentation of Notification::actions |
showActionsAsIcons | bool | See the client side documentation of Notification::showActionsAsIcons |
dismissOnAction | bool | See the client side documentation of Notification::dismissOnAction |
isClickable | bool | See the client side documentation of Notification::clickable |
isSytemNotification | url | Holds true for notifications originating not from an application, but some system service. Always holds false for notifications coming from UI applications. |
isShowingProgress | bool | See the client side documentation of Notification::showProgress |
progress | qreal | See the client side documentation of Notification::progress |
isSticky | bool | See the client side documentation of Notification::sticky |
timeout | int | See the client side documentation of Notification::timeout |
extended | object | See the client side documentation of Notification::extended |
The actual backend implementation that is receiving the notifications from other process is fully compliant to the D-Bus interface of the freedesktop.org specification for notifications.
For testing purposes, the notify-send tool from the libnotify package can be used to create notifications.
Property Documentation
[read-only] count : int |
This property holds the number of active notifications in the model.
Method Documentation
acknowledgeNotification(int id) |
This function needs to be called by the System UI when the user acknowledged the notification identified by id (most likely by clicking on it).
dismissNotification(int id) |
This function needs to be called by the System UI when the notification identified by id is no longer needed.
The creator of the notification will be notified about this dismissal.
object get(int index) |
Retrieves the model data at index as a JavaScript object. See the role names for the expected object fields.
Returns an empty object if the specified index is invalid.
Maps the notification id to its position within the model.
Returns -1 if the specified id is invalid.
object notification(int id) |
Retrieves the model data for the notification identified by id as a JavaScript object. See the role names for the expected object fields.
Returns an empty object if the specified id is invalid.
This function needs to be called by the System UI when the user triggered a notification action.
The notification is identified by id and the action by actionId.
Note: You should only use action-ids that have been set for the the given notification (see the actions role). However, the application manager will accept and forward any arbitrary string. Be aware that this string is broadcast on the session D-Bus when running in multi-process mode.
