NAME

       Desktop::Notify - Communicate with the Desktop Notifications framework

VERSION

       Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

	   use Desktop::Notify;

	   # Open a connection to the notification daemon
	   my $notify = Desktop::Notify->new();

	   # Create a notification to display
	   my $notification = $notify->create(summary => 'Desktop::Notify',
					      body => 'Hello, world!',
					      timeout => 5000);

	   # Display the notification
	   $notification->show();

	   # Close the notification later
	   $notification->close();

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a Perl interface to the Desktop Notifications framework.

       The framework allows applications to display pop-up notifications on an X desktop.  This is implemented with two components: a daemon that
       displays the notifications, and a client library used by applications to send notifications to the daemon.  These components communicate
       through the DBus message bus protocol.

       More information is available from <http://trac.galago-project.org/wiki/DesktopNotifications>

       This module serves the same purpose as "libnotify", in an object-oriented Perl interface.  It is not, however, an interface to "libnotify"
       itself, but a separate implementation of the specification using Net::DBus.

METHODS

   new %opts
       Connect to the notification daemon. %opts can include the following options:

       app_name
	   The application name to use for notifications. Default is "basename($0)"

       bus The Net::DBus mesage bus to use. Default is to call Net::DBus->session, which is usually where notification-daemon can be reached.

       service
	   The DBus service name of the daemon. Default is org.freedesktop.Notifications.

       objpath
	   The path to the notifications DBus object. Default is /org/freedesktop/Notifications.

       objiface
	   The DBus interface to access the notifications object as. Default is org.freedesktop.Notifications.

   create %params
       Creates a new notification object that can be displayed later. This will return a Desktop::Notify::Notification object; see that module for
       information about using it.

   close_callback $coderef
       Sets a user-specified function to be called whenever a notification is closed.  It will be called with one argument, which is the
       Notification object that was just closed.
