== Summary ==
Allow notifications to be replaced by new 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 ==
* Progress notifications
* Compatibility with the rest of the Linux desktop world

== Scope ==
It is a small change that does not break compatibility.

It pretty much needs [[Notification Urgency]] so you can replace notifications without a flashy popup thing.

==UI Design==

None - the notifications are just changed - no animation - no nothing

== 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)

id = notifications.Notify("Software Update", 0, "", "New activities are available!", "Please check your activities list", [], {'x-sugar-icon-name': 'module-updater', 'urgency': 1}, -1)

import time
time.sleep(10)

notifications.Notify("Software Update", 0, "", "MORE New activities are available!", "Please check your activities list AGAIN", [], {'x-sugar-icon-name': 'module-updater', 'urgency': 0}, -1)


== Dependencies ==
None!

== Contingency Plan ==
People are sad :(

== Documentation ==
