126 Various PARAMS can be set:
128 :bus The D-Bus bus, if different from `:session'.
129 :title The notification title.
130 :body The notification body text.
131 :app-name The name of the application sending the notification.
132 Default to `notifications-application-name'.
133 :replaces-id The notification ID that this notification replaces.
134 :app-icon The notification icon.
135 Default is `notifications-application-icon'.
136 Set to nil if you do not want any icon displayed.
137 :actions A list of actions in the form:
138 (KEY TITLE KEY TITLE ...)
139 where KEY and TITLE are both strings.
140 The default action (usually invoked by clicking the
141 notification) should have a key named \"default\".
142 The title can be anything, though implementations are free
144 :timeout The timeout time in milliseconds since the display
145 of the notification at which the notification should
147 If -1, the notification's expiration time is dependent
148 on the notification server's settings, and may vary for
149 the type of notification.
150 If 0, the notification never expires.
152 :urgency The urgency level.
153 Either `low', `normal' or `critical'.
154 :action-items Whether the TITLE of the actions is interpreted as
156 :category The type of notification this is.
157 :desktop-entry This specifies the name of the desktop filename representing
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
172 :resident When set the server will not automatically remove the
173 notification when an action has been invoked.
174 :transient When set the server will treat the notification as transient
175 and by-pass the server's persistence capability, if it
177 :x Specifies the X location on the screen that the notification
178 should point to. The \"y\" hint must also be specified.
179 :y Specifies the Y location on the screen that the notification
180 should point to. The \"x\" hint must also be specified.
181 :on-action Function to call when an action is invoked.
182 The notification id and the key of the action are passed
183 as arguments to the function.
184 :on-close Function to call when the notification has been closed
185 by timeout or by the user.
186 The function receive the notification id and the closing
188 - `expired' if the notification has expired
189 - `dismissed' if the notification was dismissed by the user
190 - `close-notification' if the notification was closed
191 by a call to CloseNotification
192 - `undefined' if the notification server hasn't provided
195 Which parameters are accepted by the notification server can be
196 checked via `notifications-get-capabilities'.
198 This function returns a notification id, an integer, which can be
199 used to manipulate the notification item with
200 `notifications-close-notification' or the `:replaces-id' argument
201 of another `notifications-notify' call."
