25 ;; This package provides an implementation of the Desktop Notifications
26 ;; <http://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/>.
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.

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