I am using Windows 8. For some reason I haven't been receiving the slack notifications on my desktop. When I searched online for help, I got suggestions to turn off the focus assist, but it was of no help to me, as I didn't find anything like focus assist on my Windows 8 desktop. Slack notifications settings window
I tried to enable notification sounds from the notifications and action center, but there was no option to enable the notifications for slack, all it was showing was windows apps only.
Windows notifications settings
Yes, you need to turn off the focus assist, then you will get a slack notification. The below steps are for windows 10 but it may work for you too:
Go to the Start menu.
Click Settings > System.
From the right sidebar, select Focus Assist.
Select Off.

I'm working on a Windows app and integrated Toast notification in it. Paired with an AWS SNS service, it's working fine, I can successfully receive my notifications.
My notifications are used to fire events when the app is launched, it's not designed for final user. For this reason, I don't need any banner or display for these notifications: only handle the event in the app.
My issue is, when the app is killed, Windows displays a banner (top right corner) for any new notification. I found a way to disable banners directly in the OS, but I would like a solution when pushing the notification (backend side).
I already did it for iOS, kind of 'silent' notification, without any alert, sound or badge, but can still be handled by the OS.
I would like to know if there is any way to do that on Windows too? Like any extra arguments I missed or a dedicated template for that.
Thanks
I finally found a way to do that.
I changed from Toast notification to Raw notification (a push notification that does not involve UI). (MSDN - Documentation)
After that, I had to customise my AWS SNS notification wiht MessageAttributes to change the type of my WNS notification (AWS - Documentation).
I've also noticed that we can directly suppress the Toast UI on Windows phone with "X-WNS-SuppressPopup" param, which can be also very helpful. (MSDN - SuppressPopup).
Finally, inspired from AWS Baidu Push notification sample code, I did the same for WNS platform, adding all new arguments I needed, and it works great at the end.
Hope this can help someone else.

Make sure your computer have internet connection. I had similar issue when network proxy was configured incorrectly .
Also try after clearing internet explorer cached content (history,password,cookies etc.)
Since a few hours my chat messages are not saved anymore on Quickblox.
I can send the messages (text/content) without any problem but I don’t see the messages appearing anymore in the admin panel.
When I want to fetch the messages for a dialog, I only get old messages.
Also doesn't succeed in creating a group chat dialog. Tried it on admin panel + iOS and Android application.
status.quickblox.com is also offline, is there a server issue?
Anyone else experiencing issues?
Thank you,

There were Chat server overload issues, now everything is green again
Do you still have any issues with your mobile apps?
I have built a windows metro app in csharp and need to find a way to launch this app when the user for example touches with his finger for 5 seconds anywhere in the start menu.
I have been googling for 2 days but haven't found sth.
Does anybody have any idea?
It's not supported. Windows Store apps can't listen to UI events anywhere outside of their own UI.
I'm testing a feature
that when I can't get wifi connection
I will show a alert view and a button to go to system wifi setting
I know that in IOS6.0 this can't be done
but today I downloaded google map with my Iphone 5(IOS 7.0.6)
If I didn't have Wifi and 3g it will pop out a view
and if I press setting I can go to wifi setting
So I think this feature can be done in IOS 7
Can anyone tell me how to do this??
And Sorry about my poor English!!
No this is not possible, the dialog you are seeing is system dialog saying that if you turn on WiFi you will get a better location fix. As a developer you have no control over these dialogs.
