Notification subscriber

[pawelma]

Hi. Is it possible to add implementation of notification subscriber to your code. I know you already have eventLoop but 'notificationDelivery' event is missing. I'd like to implement listener of all incoming notifications.

That should be possible yes. Do you want to get the stream of all notifications sent over DBus, or are you refering to the NotificationClosed signal?

[pawelma]

All of them :). NotificationClosed signal can probably be handled with current eventLoop implementation but I have to react right after notification appear.

[esiqveland]

You can already get the NotificationClosed signal: https://github.com/esiqveland/notify/blob/master/example/main.go#L80

But remember that this signal is only for dismissed notifications, not when they are dismissed by clicking an action button.

I saw this event handling before when I was playing with your example. But I need react to NotificationSend (or however this event is named) right after signal is send.

It should work like dbus-monitor which produce following output on notify-send test text command:

$ dbus-monitor "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'"
...
method call time=1487927837.852070 sender=:1.1011 -> destination=:1.24 serial=7 path=/org/freedesktop/Notifications; interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications; member=Notify
   string "notify-send"
   uint32 0
   string ""
   string "test"
   string "text"
   array [
   ]
   array [
      dict entry(
         string "urgency"
         variant             byte 1
      )
   ]
   int32 -1

...

This is something I could add. Please submit a PR if you feel called ;)

I see that this could be useful, but it is not part of the Notification spec nor exposed as a signal in the DBus service.

Closing for now.
