== Summary ==
Add 3 levels of urgency for notifications.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:SAMdroid| Sam P.]]
* Email: samDELETEME@sugarlabs.org (You need to get rid of the DELETEME)
== Current status ==
* Targeted release: 0.104
* Last updated: 10/Aug/2014
* Percentage of completion: 50% - needs discussion
== Benefit to Sugar ==
* The ability to have silent notifications - eg: auto activity update notifications
* Compatibility with the rest of the Linux desktop work
== Scope ==
It is a small change that does not break compatibility.
==UI Design==
* Normal notifications remain unchanged
* Low priority notifications get no flashy icon popup corner thing - but they still get a place in the frame
* Critical notifications get a flashy corner thing like this:
[[File:CriticalNotifications.png]]
== How To Test ==
Run and change this in Pippy:
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)
# 0=low, 1=normal, 2=critical
# CHANGE ME!!!
urgency = 1
notifications.Notify("Software Update", 0, "", "New activities are available!", "Please check your activities list", [], {'x-sugar-icon-name': 'module-updater', 'urgency': urgency}, -1)
== Dependencies ==
None!
== Contingency Plan ==
People are sad :(
== Documentation ==
''Is there upstream documentation on this feature, or notes you have written yourself? Has this topic been discussed in the mailing list or during a meeting? Link to that material here so other interested developers can get involved.''
== Release Notes ==
Added notification urgency functionality.
