notifications

Display notifications to the user, using the underlying operating system's notification mechanism. Because this API uses the operating system's notification mechanism, the details of how notifications appear and behave may differ according to the operating system and the user's settings.

To use this API you need to have the "notifications" permission.

The notification looks the same on all desktop operating systems. Something like:

Types

notifications.NotificationOptions

Defines the content of a notification.

notifications.TemplateType

The type of notification. For example, this defines whether the notification can contain an image.

Functions

notifications.clear()

notifications.create()

Create and display a new notification.

notifications.getAll()

Get all notifications.

notifications.update()

Events

notifications.onButtonClicked

notifications.onClicked

Fired when the user clicked the notification, but not on a button.

notifications.onClosed

Fired when a notification closed, either by the system or because the user dismissed it.
