25 ;; This package provides an implementation of the Desktop Notifications
26 ;; <http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/>.
28 ;; In order to activate this package, you must add the following code
29 ;; into your .emacs:
31 ;; (require 'notifications)
33 ;; For proper usage, Emacs must be started in an environment with an
34 ;; active D-Bus session bus.
36 ;;; Code:
37 (eval-when-compile
38 (require 'cl))
40 ;; Pacify byte-compiler. D-Bus support in the Emacs core can be
41 ;; disabled with configuration option "--without-dbus". Declare used
42 ;; subroutines and variables of `dbus' therefore.

128 "Send notification via D-Bus using the Freedesktop notification protocol.
129 Various PARAMS can be set:
131 :title The notification title.
132 :body The notification body text.
133 :app-name The name of the application sending the notification.
134 Default to `notifications-application-name'.
135 :replaces-id The notification ID that this notification replaces.
136 :app-icon The notification icon.
137 Default is `notifications-application-icon'.
138 Set to nil if you do not want any icon displayed.
139 :actions A list of actions in the form:
140 (KEY TITLE KEY TITLE ...)
141 where KEY and TITLE are both strings.
142 The default action (usually invoked by clicking the
143 notification) should have a key named \"default\".
144 The title can be anything, though implementations are free
145 not to display it.
146 :timeout The timeout time in milliseconds since the display
147 of the notification at which the notification should
148 automatically close.
149 If -1, the notification's expiration time is dependent
150 on the notification server's settings, and may vary for
151 the type of notification.
152 If 0, the notification never expires.
153 Default value is -1.
154 :urgency The urgency level.
155 Either `low', `normal' or `critical'.
156 :category The type of notification this is.
157 :desktop-entry This specifies the name of the desktop filename representing
158 the calling program.
159 :image-data This is a raw data image format which describes the width,
160 height, rowstride, has alpha, bits per sample, channels and
161 image data respectively.
162 :image-path This is represented either as a URI (file:// is the
163 only URI schema supported right now) or a name
164 in a freedesktop.org-compliant icon theme.
165 :sound-file The path to a sound file to play when the notification pops up.
166 :sound-name A themable named sound from the freedesktop.org sound naming
167 specification to play when the notification pops up.
168 Similar to icon-name,only for sounds. An example would
169 be \"message-new-instant\".
170 :suppress-sound Causes the server to suppress playing any sounds, if it has
171 that ability.
172 :x Specifies the X location on the screen that the notification
173 should point to. The \"y\" hint must also be specified.
174 :y Specifies the Y location on the screen that the notification
175 should point to. The \"x\" hint must also be specified.
176 :on-action Function to call when an action is invoked.
177 The notification id and the key of the action are passed
178 as arguments to the function.
179 :on-close Function to call when the notification has been closed
180 by timeout or by the user.
181 The function receive the notification id and the closing
182 reason as arguments:
183 - `expired' if the notification has expired
184 - `dismissed' if the notification was dismissed by the user
185 - `close-notification' if the notification was closed
186 by a call to CloseNotification
188 This function returns a notification id, an integer, which can be
189 used to manipulate the notification item with
190 `notifications-close-notification'."
