Class Details¶

class Gio.Notification(**kwargs)¶

Bases:	`GObject.Object`
Abstract:	No

Gio.Notification is a mechanism for creating a notification to be shown to the user – typically as a pop-up notification presented by the desktop environment shell.

The key difference between Gio.Notification and other similar APIs is that, if supported by the desktop environment, notifications sent with Gio.Notification will persist after the application has exited, and even across system reboots.

Since the user may click on a notification while the application is not running, applications using Gio.Notification should be able to be started as a D-Bus service, using Gio.Application.

User interaction with a notification (either the default action, or buttons) must be associated with actions on the application (ie: “app.” actions). It is not possible to route user interaction through the notification itself, because the object will not exist if the application is autostarted as a result of a notification being clicked.

A notification can be sent with Gio.Application.send_notification().

New in version 2.40.

classmethod new(title)[source]¶

Parameters:	title (`str`) – the title of the notification
Returns:	a new `Gio.Notification` instance
Return type:	`Gio.Notification`

Creates a new Gio.Notification with title as its title.

After populating notification with more details, it can be sent to the desktop shell with Gio.Application.send_notification(). Changing any properties after this call will not have any effect until resending notification.

New in version 2.40.

add_button(label, detailed_action)[source]¶

Parameters:	label (`str`) – label of the button detailed_action (`str`) – a detailed action name

Adds a button to self that activates the action in detailed_action when clicked. That action must be an application-wide action (starting with “app.”). If detailed_action contains a target, the action will be activated with that target as its parameter.

See Gio.Action.parse_detailed_name() for a description of the format for detailed_action.

New in version 2.40.

add_button_with_target(label, action, target)[source]¶

Parameters:	label (`str`) – label of the button action (`str`) – an action name target (`GLib.Variant` or `None`) – a `GLib.Variant` to use as action’s parameter, or `None`

Adds a button to self that activates action when clicked. action must be an application-wide action (it must start with “app.”).
