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.
