My problem now is: How do i get the same effect when facebook(Desktop) give me a notification and add to the total number of notification that have no being read? Example someone tag me on the facebook and there is "1" pop up above the notification icon.
1) I search for push notification but if is not wrong is for mobile devices.
2) Event Manager. Search around but still no luck linking Event Manager and what i want. (I totally think is using event manager but have no idea to start.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers

Is it possible to make an app that when closed and with no internet/data connection, if user enter a concrete area (detected with GPS), app send a notification? (sound + show message "push-like"?)
I thought yes it was possible, but then I saw that: https://www.rfwireless-world.com/Terminology/What-is-Geofencing-and-How-Geofencing-works.html
Not sure, but it seems it is not possible?? (they are talking about android, but what about iOS?)
Thanks in advance for the help.
I'm playing with the Spotify API in a new component on my VueJS playground, and right now I'm able to control the main application from my web app (just see the current track info, be able to play, pause, skip to next song and to the prevoious one).
The thing is that to display the current information of the current song, I'm doing requests to the playback state endpoint (/me/player) to get all the info. I'm doing it every second unless when the user does an action (play, pause, next...), in that case I force a call to get the current state with all the info.
I think that something like a subscription or an event to detect changes on the player would be so much optimum.
I didn't find something like that on the API Reference. Anyone did a workaround for this?
If you want to see the code of the component, It's available on my GitHub.
Thank you in advance :)
p.s: I'm not used to ask in StackOverflow yet so sorry if I'm missing something.
I am working on a nodewebkit app. Looking for a functionality where in I can change task-bar icon of app to notify users, similar to what Skype does when a new message is received by user.
Is there any way it can be done in Nodewebkit?
Initially I tried changing window.icon in package.json file, but then I came to know that it is used only once, i.e. on app load. So that did not work.
Anything else I can try?
Thanks in advance
Window.requestAttention(Boolean attention) is what I was looking for.
It worked for me.
Thanks to Dhiraj, It gave me an additional feature for icon.
I'm building a spotify app that does some work in the background and should then alert the user if it finds a match. I can't find a way to notify the user on the main plane when I have found something of interest.
I'd like to have something like a counter on my app name or some form of notification in order to alert the user that something has changed in my app and that they should come to the app.
Does anyone know if this is possible ?
thanks,
Sean
You would need to notify them via Facebook, Spotify doesn't allow you to identify the individual users on the Spotify platform through the api.
Also there is the issue of that your App unloads after 60seconds of the user not being on the App Pane (off in a playlist etc).
So whilst a counter icon that you suggest would be wonderful.
The App Unload-er needs to go away first.
since iOS 5, notifications are no more intrusive as previous. This is nice, but it seems that users prefer to tap directly on app icon from the Dashboard instead of the (small) banner area or notification center.
In such case, my app cannot get payload from notifications.. Even the 'application didReceiveRemoteNotification' method is not able to get the notification.
Has anyone got the same issue? Do you have any advice?
Thanks
The intention of the push payload is just to display something useful/informative to the user in the alert. Not to actually send data to your app.
So you will need your own web service to provide the data your app needs. Your app should refresh/sync to that service when it launches to get the data.
Example: Instagram. It can push notify you that someone commented on your photo. But it's not actually sending the comment data in the push to display in the app. The comment data is downloaded when you launch Instagram and attempt to view the comment.
