;; <http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/>.

;; In order to activate this package, you must add the following code

;;
;;   (require 'notifications)

;;; Code:
(eval-when-compile
  (require 'cl))

;; Pacify byte-compiler.  D-Bus support in the Emacs core can be
;; disabled with configuration option "--without-dbus".  Declare used
;; subroutines and variables of `dbus' therefore.

  "Send notification via D-Bus using the Freedesktop notification protocol.
Various PARAMS can be set:

 :title          The notification title.
 :body           The notification body text.
 :app-name       The name of the application sending the notification.
                 Default to `notifications-application-name'.
 :replaces-id    The notification ID that this notification replaces.
 :app-icon       The notification icon.
                 Default is `notifications-application-icon'.
                 Set to nil if you do not want any icon displayed.
 :actions        A list of actions in the form:
                   (KEY TITLE KEY TITLE ...)
                 where KEY and TITLE are both strings.
                 The default action (usually invoked by clicking the notification)
                 should have a key named \"default\". The name can be anything,
                 though implementations are free not to display it.
 :timeout        The timeout time in milliseconds since the display
                 of the notification at which the notification should
                 automatically close.
                 If -1, the notification's expiration time is dependent
                 on the notification server's settings, and may vary for
                 the type of notification.
                 If 0, the notification never expires.
                 Default value is -1.
 :urgency        The urgency level.
                 Either `low', `normal' or `critical'.
 :category       The type of notification this is.
 :desktop-entry  This specifies the name of the desktop filename representing
                 the calling program.
 :image-data     This is a raw data image format which describes the width,
                 height, rowstride, has alpha, bits per sample, channels and
                 image data respectively.
 :sound-file     The path to a sound file to play when the notification pops up.
 :suppress-sound Causes the server to suppress playing any sounds, if it has
                 that ability.
 :x              Specifies the X location on the screen that the notification
                 should point to. The \"y\" hint must also be specified.
 :y              Specifies the Y location on the screen that the notification
                 should point to. The \"x\" hint must also be specified.
 :on-action      Function to call when an action is invoked. The key of the
                 action is passed as argument to the function.
 :on-close       Function to call when the notification has been closed
                 by timeout or by the user.
                 The function receive the closing reason as argument:
                   - `expired' if the notification has expired
                   - `dismissed' if the notification was dismissed by the user
                   - `close-notification' if the notification was closed
                     by a call to CloseNotification

This function returns a notification id, an integer, which can be
used to manipulate the notification item with
`notifications-close'."
