NotifyNotification represents a passive pop-up notification. It can contain summary text, body text, and an icon, as well as hints specifying how the notification should be presented. The notification is rendered by a notification daemon, and may present the notification in any number of ways. As such, there is a clear separation of content and presentation, and this API enforces that.
#define NOTIFY_EXPIRES_DEFAULT -1
The default expiration time on a notification.
#define NOTIFY_EXPIRES_NEVER 0
The notification never expires. It stays open until closed by the calling API or the user.
typedef struct _NotifyNotification NotifyNotification;
This is an opaque structure representing a notification. This should not be used directly. Use the accessor functions below.
typedef enum { NOTIFY_URGENCY_LOW, NOTIFY_URGENCY_NORMAL, NOTIFY_URGENCY_CRITICAL, } NotifyUrgency;
The urgency level of the notification.
void (*NotifyActionCallback) (NotifyNotification *notification, gchar *action, gpointer user_data);
An action callback function.

is much like G_CALLBACK()
.
|

|
void notify_notification_attach_to_status_icon (NotifyNotification *notification, GtkStatusIcon *status_icon);
Attaches the notification to a GtkStatusIcon. This will set hints on the
notification requesting that the notification point to the status icon's
location. If status_icon
is NULL
, the status icon will be unset.
|
The notification. |
|
The GtkStatusIcon to attach to, or NULL .
