== Benefit to Sugar ==
This would be nice for chat, calenders...
It would help bring us into line with the other desktop environs.
== Scope ==
The stuff in the shell is done. It probably needs to be improved.
I haven't mad any activities use it, so yeah.
==UI Design==
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Design_Team/Proposals/Notifications
== How To Test ==
Here is an example activity: https://git.sugarlabs.org/~samdroid/hello-world/hello-notification-world
This shows you a notification after a delay.
The docs for using notifications in activities are https://github.com/SAMdroid-apps/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/blob/bfadc8648bb0c594d9b12160affdd2c2c8819164/src/sugar3/activity/activity.py#L641
For system notifications you can run this code:
import dbus
BUS_NAME = 'org.freedesktop.Notifications'
OBJ_PATH = '/org/freedesktop/Notifications'
IFACE_NAME = 'org.freedesktop.Notifications'
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
notify_obj = bus.get_object(BUS_NAME,OBJ_PATH)
notifications = dbus.Interface(notify_obj,IFACE_NAME)
notifications.Notify("HelloWorld", 0, '', "Summary", "Body", [], {'x-sugar-icon-name': 'activity-journal'}, -1)
#You can change the icon above
== User Experience ==
I think this is usable?
== Contingency Plan ==
WORK HARDER
== Documentation ==
I've added the doc strings.
== Comments and Discussion ==
