About the new native notification library for mobile apps...

Got an idea for enhancing SpiderBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

About the new native notification library for mobile apps...

Whould be awesome if we can run processes in background to make that notification library more useful.
I think already exists a cordova plugin for that, but I don't tested.

I know, the notification can show even with the app closed, but on this case you are limited a notifications created when the app is running (timed notifications).
I mean (in example) a notification that is shown when a background process trigger something (not time) like an update for the app, an incoming message of a chat app, and so on...

I know this lib was targeted mostly at mobile apps, as was the MobileUI library, but modern browsers have notifications support too. Is it possible we'll see that get intigrated into this lib at some point too, for cross-platform notifications?

Notifications seems to be a dead thing on browser, in firefox even their example here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... ations_API requiers to change an hidden setting to allow notification. I didn't seen one for like years now

Hahaha, good to know. Frankly that's probably a good thing, the only website I ever had send me any sort of useful notifications was YouTube, everything else uses it to spam you and/or send fake virus warnings, because Chrome formatted its notifications to look like they came from the OS, not Chrome :mrgreen: :twisted:
