<para>
|
|
This is a draft standard for a desktop notifications service,
|
|
through which applications can generate passive popups to notify
|
|
the user in an asynchronous manner of events.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This specification explicitly does not include other types of
|
|
notification presentation such as modal message boxes, window manager
|
|
decorations or window list annotations.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Example use cases include:

<title>Basic Design</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In order to ensure that multiple notifications can easily be
|
|
displayed at once, and to provide a convenient implementation, all
|
|
notifications are controlled by a single session-scoped service which
|
|
exposes a D-BUS interface.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
On startup, a conforming implementation should take the
|
|
<literal>org.freedesktop.Notifications</literal> service on
|
|
the session bus. This service will be referred to as the "notification
|
|
server" or just "the server" in this document. It can optionally be
|
|
activated automatically by the bus process, however this is not required
|
|
and notification server clients must not assume that it is available.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The server should implement the
|
|
<literal>org.freedesktop.Notifications</literal> interface on
|
|
an object with the path <literal>"/org/freedesktop/Notifications"</literal>.
|
|
This is the only interface required by this version of the specification.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A notification has the following components:

<entry>

This is the optional name of the application sending the notification.

This should be the application's formal name, rather than some sort
|

of ID. An example would be "FredApp E-Mail Client," rather than
|

"fredapp-email-client."

<entry>Summary</entry>
|
|
<entry>
|
|
This is a single line overview of the notification. For instance,
|
|
"You have mail" or "A friend has come online". It should generally
|
|
not be longer than 40 characters, though this is not a requirement,
|
|
and server implementations should word wrap if necessary. The summary
|
|
must be encoded using UTF-8.
|

</row>
|
|
<row>
|
|
<entry>Body</entry>
|
|
<entry>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This is a multi-line body of text. Each line is a paragraph, server
|
|
implementations are free to word wrap them as they see fit.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The body may contain simple markup as specified in
|
|
<xref linkend="markup"/>. It must be encoded using UTF-8.
|

</para>
|
|
<para>
|

If the body is omitted, just the summary is displayed.

<row>
|
|
<entry>Actions</entry>
|
|
<entry>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The actions send a request message back to the notification client
|
|
when invoked. This functionality may not be implemented by the
|
|
notification server, conforming clients should check if it is available
|
|
before using it (see the GetCapabilities message in
|
|
<xref linkend="protocol"/>). An implementation is free to ignore any
|
|
requested by the client. As an example one possible rendering of
|
|
actions would be as buttons in the notification popup.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The default action (usually invoked my clicking the notification)
|
|
should have a key named <literal>"default"</literal>. The name can
|
|
be anything, though implementations are free not to display it.

<entry>Hints</entry>

<para>
|

Hints are a way to provide extra data to a notification server that
|
|
the server may be able to make use of.

<entry>Expiration Timeout</entry>
|
|
<entry>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The timeout time in milliseconds since the display of the notification
|
|
at which the notification should automatically close.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If -1, the notification's expiration time is dependent on the
|
|
notification server's settings, and may vary for the type of
|
|
notification.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If 0, the notification never expires.

</tgroup>
|
|
</table>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Each notification displayed is allocated a unique ID by the server.
|
|
This is unique within the session. While the notification server is
|
|
running, the ID will not be recycled unless the capacity of a uint32 is
|
|
exceeded.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This can be used to hide the notification before the expiration timeout
|
|
is reached. It can also be used to atomically replace the notification
|
|
with another. This allows you to (for instance) modify the contents of
|
|
a notification while it's on-screen.

<title>Backwards Compatibility</title>

<para>
|
|
Clients should try and avoid making assumptions about the presentation and
|
|
abilities of the notification server. The message content is the most
|
|
important thing.
|

</para>

<para>

Clients can check with the server what capabilities are supported

using the <literal>GetCapabilities</literal> message. See

</para>

<para>

If a client requires a response from a passive popup, it should be

coded such that a non-focus-stealing message box can be used in the

case that the notification server does not support this feature.

The following tags should be supported by the notification server.

A full-blown HTML implementation is not required of this spec, and
|
|
notifications should never take advantage of tags that are not listed
|
|
above. As notifications are not a substitute for web browsers or complex
|
|
dialogs, advanced layout is not necessary, and may in fact limit the
|
|
number of systems that notification services can run on, due to memory
|
|
usage and screen space. Such examples are PDAs, certain cell phones, and
|
|
slow PCs or laptops with little memory.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For the same reason, a full XML or XHTML implementation using XSLT or
|
|
CSS stylesheets is not part of this specification. Information that
|
|
must be presented in a more complex form should use an application-specific
|
|
dialog, a web browser, or some other display mechanism.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The tags specified above mark up the content in a way that allows them
|
|
to be stripped out on some implementations without impacting the actual
|
|
content.

<para>
|

Hyperlinks allow for linking one or more words to a URI. There is no
|
|
requirement to allow for images to be linked, and it is highly suggested
|
|
that implementations do not allow this, as there is no clean-looking,
|
|
standard visual indicator for a hyperlinked image.

<para>

Hyperlinked text should appear in the standard blue underline format.

Hyperlinks cannot function as a replacement for actions. They are

used to link to local directories or remote sites using standard URI

schemes.

Images may be placed in the notification, but this should be done with

caution. The image should never exceed 200x100, but this should be thought

of as a maximum size. Images should always have alternative text

provided through the <literal>alt="..."</literal> attribute.

Notifications can optionally have a type indicator. Although neither
|
|
client or nor server must support this, some may choose to. Those servers
|
|
implementing categories may use them to intelligently display
|
|
the notification in a certain way, or group notifications of similar
|
|
types.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Categories are in
|
|
<literal><replaceable>class.specific</replaceable></literal> form.
|
|
<literal>class</literal> specifies the generic type of notification, and
|
|
<literal>specific</literal> specifies the more specific type of
|
|
notification.
|

</para>
|

<para>

If a specific type of notification does not exist for your notification,

Third parties, when defining their own categories, should discuss

the possibility of standardizing on the hint with other parties, preferably

in a place such as the

|
|
mailing list at

<ulink url="http://freedesktop.org/">freedesktop.org</ulink>. If it

warrants a standard, it will be added to the table above. If no

consensus is reached, the category should be in the form of

"<literal>x-<replaceable>vendor</replaceable>.<replaceable>class</replaceable>.<replaceable>name</replaceable></literal>."

Notifications have an urgency level associated with them. This defines

the importance of the notification. For example, "Joe Bob signed on"

would be a low urgency. "You have new mail" or "A USB device was unplugged"

would be a normal urgency. "Your computer is on fire" would be a critical

urgency.

Developers must use their own judgement when deciding the urgency of a

them.

For low and normal urgencies, server implementations may display the

the notification.

the actual hint value in as the dictionary value.

If <parameter>replaces_id</parameter> is 0, the return value is a
|
|
UINT32 that represent the notification. It is unique, and will not be

|
reused unless a <constant>MAXINT</constant> number of notifications
|
|
have been generated. An acceptable implementation may just use an
|
|
incrementing counter for the ID. The returned ID is always greater than

zero. Servers must make sure not to return zero as an ID.
