Experimental App APIs

Experimental App APIs

The current methods allow applications to generate passive notifications.

chrome.experimental.app.clearAllNotifications(object details, function callback)

Clears all previously sent notifications.

details ( optional object ): Undocumented.; extensionId
( optional string )

An optional id to do notifications for an app other than the calling app. This is just to allow prototyping with an extension that sends notifications on behalf of apps that don't support notifications yet; this will be removed before the API becomes stable.
callback ( optional function ): A callback when the function is complete. Any errors will be reported in chrome.extension.lastError.

If you specify the callback parameter, it should specify a function that looks like this:

function() {...};

chrome.experimental.app.notify(object details, function callback)

Creates a notification from this app.

details ( object ): Undocumented.; extensionId
( optional string )

An optional id to do notifications for an app other than the calling app. This is just to allow prototyping with an extension that sends notifications on behalf of apps that don't support notifications yet; this will be removed before the API becomes stable.

title
( optional string )

The title of the notification.

bodyText
( optional string )

The text content of the notification.

linkUrl
( optional string )

The URL for an optional link to show along with the notification. If you specify a linkUrl, you must also specify a value for linkText.

linkText
( optional string )

If a linkUrl is provided, this is required and will be used as the linkified text. It should be relatively short.
callback ( optional function ): A callback when the function is complete. Any errors will be reported in chrome.extension.lastError.

If you specify the callback parameter, it should specify a function that looks like this:

function() {...};
