Struct notify_rust::NotificationHandle

pub struct NotificationHandle { /* fields omitted */ }

A handle to a shown notification.

This keeps a connection alive to ensure actions work on certain desktops.

Methods

impl NotificationHandle

fn new(notification: Notification) -> NotificationHandle

Methods from Deref<Target = Notification>

fn appname(&mut self, appname: &str) -> &mut Notification

Overwrite the appname field used for Notification.

Platform Support

Please note that this method has no effect on macOS. Here you can only set the application via set_application()

fn summary(&mut self, summary: &str) -> &mut Notification

Set the summary.

Often acts as title of the notification. For more elaborate content use the body field.

fn subtitle(&mut self, subtitle: &str) -> &mut Notification

Set the subtitle.

This is only useful on macOS, it's not part of the XDG specification and will therefore be eaten by gremlins under your CPU 😈🤘.

fn sound_name(&mut self, name: &str) -> &mut Notification

Set the sound_name for the NSUserNotification

fn body(&mut self, body: &str) -> &mut Notification

Set the content of the body field.

Multiline textual content of the notification. Each line should be treated as a paragraph. Simple html markup should be supported, depending on the server implementation.

fn icon(&mut self, icon: &str) -> &mut Notification

Set the icon field.

You can use common icon names here, usually those in /usr/share/icons can all be used. You can also use an absolute path to file.

Platform support

macOS does not have support manually setting the icon. However you can pretend to be another app using set_application()

fn auto_icon(&mut self) -> &mut Notification

Set the icon field automatically.

This looks at your binaries name and uses it to set the icon.t

Platform support

macOS does not have support manually setting the icon. However you can pretend to be another app using set_application()

fn hint(&mut self, hint: NotificationHint) -> &mut Notification

Adds a hint.

This method will add a hint to the internal hint hashset. Hints must be of type NotificationHint.

Notification::new()
    .summary("Category:email")
    .body("This should not go away until you acknoledge it.")
    .icon("thunderbird")
    .appname("thunderbird")
    .hint(NotificationHint::Category("email".to_owned()))
    .hint(NotificationHint::Resident(true))
    .show();

Platform support

Most of these hints don't even have an effect on the big XDG Desktops, they are completely tossed on macOS.

fn timeout<T: Into<Timeout>>(&mut self, timeout: T) -> &mut Notification

Set the timeout.

This sets the time (in milliseconds) from the time the notification is displayed until it is closed again by the Notification Server. According to specification -1 will leave the timeout to be set by the server and 0 will cause the notification never to expire.

Platform support

This only works on XDG Desktops, macOS does not support manually setting the timeout.

fn urgency(&mut self, urgency: NotificationUrgency) -> &mut Notification

Set the urgency.

Pick between Medium, Low and High.

Platform support

Most Desktops on linux and bsd are far too relaxed to pay any attention to this. macOS it to cool to even have something like this in it's spec 😊.

fn actions(&mut self, actions: Vec<String>) -> &mut Notification

Deprecated

: please use .action() only

Set actions.

To quote http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x408.html#command-notify

Actions are sent over as a list of pairs. Each even element in the list (starting at index 0) represents the identifier for the action. Each odd element in the list is the localized string that will be displayed to the user.

There is nothing fancy going on here yet. Carefull! This replaces the internal list of actions!

(xdg only)

fn action(&mut self, identifier: &str, label: &str) -> &mut Notification

Add an action.

This adds a single action to the internal list of actions.

(xdg only)

fn id(&mut self, id: u32) -> &mut Notification

Set an Id ahead of time

Setting the id ahead of time allows overriding a known other notification. Though if you want to update a notification, it is easier to use the update() method of the NotificationHandle object that show() returns.

(xdg only)

fn finalize(&self) -> Notification

Finalizes a Notification.

Part of the builder pattern, returns a complete copy of the built notification.

fn show(&self) -> Result<NotificationHandle, ErrorKind>

Sends Notification to NSUserNotificationCenter.

Returns an Ok no matter what, since there is currently no way of telling the success of the notification.
