23 ;;; Commentary:
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 ;;; Code:
34 (eval-when-compile
35 (require 'cl))
37 ;; Pacify byte-compiler. D-Bus support in the Emacs core can be
38 ;; disabled with configuration option "--without-dbus". Declare used
39 ;; subroutines and variables of `dbus' therefore.

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