Building

Installation

You can install this package from nuget https://www.nuget.org/packages/rbnswartz.LinuxIntegration.Notifications/

Usage

Basic

Create an instance of NotificationManager and call ShowNotificationAsync

NotificationManager manager = new NotificationManager("test app");
var summary = "This is a summary";
var body = "This is the body of the notification";
await manager.ShowNotificationAsync(summary, body, expiration: 5000);

Closing an existing notification

Get the returned Id when you created the notification and then call HideNotificationAsync

NotificationManager manager = new NotificationManager("test app");
var summary = "This is a summary";
var body = "This is the body of the notification";
var id = await manager.ShowNotificationAsync(summary, body, expiration: 5000);
await manager.HideNotificationAsync(id);

Showing actions

Custom actions can be added to a notification if the notification system supports them.

You can check if it is supported by looking at the SupportsActions property on NotificationManager

If actions are supported you can use them like this. The key of the dictionary is the displayed value and the value is an action that will be called when the action is clicked

NotificationManager manager = new NotificationManager("test app");
var summary = "This is a summary";
var body = "This is the body of the notification";
var notificationId = await manager.ShowNotificationAsync(summary, body, actions: new Dictionary<string, Action>()
    {
        ["Press me"] = () => Console.WriteLine("Press me action called"),
        ["Do other important thing"] = () => Console.WriteLine("Other important thing")
    },
    expiration: 5000);
