Is there a way to send local notifications with Adobe AIR on Android? I mean really local notifications, I don't want to use a server for this, so when my application runs in the background, it should be able to fire a notification. I also need a way to update the status bar. Is there a Native Extension for that?
This ANE is what I was looking for.

Yes.
You might find a free option on here:

Failing that Distriqt ANE's definitely work.

On Android, toast notifications work differently to UWP. It simply shows a little black popup message over the top of the app. In UWP, toast notifications are indistinguishable from push notifications from the user perspective. Is there a standardized way in UWP to simply show a quick notification inside the app that will disappear after a few seconds and not interfere with the user's experience? I mean without it looking like the user has received a push notification?
This article doesn't seem to hint at anything like what I am talking about.

The UWP Toolkit provides an InAppNotifications control for this.
http://www.uwpcommunitytoolkit.com/en/master/controls/InAppNotification/
In many cases, the Snackbar class supersedes Toast. While Toast is currently still supported, Snackbar is now the preferred way to display brief, transient messages to the user.
Take a look at Showing Pop-Up Messages to find out the most common use cases.
We ended up building something as part of our Xamarin UI library to handle this.
The code can be found here:
https://github.com/MelbourneDeveloper/Adapt.Presentation/blob/master/Adapt.Presentation.UWP/Adapt/Presentation/UWP/InAppNotification.xaml.cs
There is a sample in this repo:
https://github.com/MelbourneDeveloper/Adapt.Presentation.git
Note: the same is for Xamarin Forms, but if you crack the code open, you'll be able to figure out how to use this for any UWP app.
I have been reading the documentation pages for Notifications for Android devices but I want to build and display notifications on an Android-TV. I have used several apps in the AndroidTV and none of them shows notifications, instead sometimes they appear in the recommendations bar,which leads me to believe that it may not be possible to display notifications on this family of devices.
My end goal is to dispatch a Heads-up notification (priority flag set to MAX) so it can be shown regardless of what the user is doing.
Can someone help me to achieve this, maybe pointing me to some more specific docs?
UPDATE I have found this application that displays notifications, but I cannot understand how it works. Is it possible that it is mimicking notifications without working with Android's API?
I also think notification will appear as "recommendation" and not appear as "notification".
For the Notifications for Android TV app, I guess it is using custom designed Toast instead of Notification.
I am currently trying to find the most efficient way to continue a method in the background of my app.
I am probably adding location/gps to my app soon, so I was considering using that flag to keep the app Active in the background. However, I do not want to add that flag yet because I want to post an App Update before I add the location functionality.
I know the exceptions;
Apps that play audible content to the user while in the background, such as a music player app
Apps that keep users informed of their location at all times, such as a navigation app
Apps that support Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Newsstand apps that need to download and process new content
Apps that receive regular updates from external accessories
Besides asking for a more generic idea then these ^, can someone explain the "external accessory" flag please? I am recording video from an outside device. However, I do not know what constitutes an "external accessory".
I also see that iOS7 has introduced new Multi-tasking functionality but I haven't seen any examples that I understand can someone also explain that? Maybe that is a viable solution?
Thanks in advance!
I want to simulate push notification without using apn.
I have tried to HOOK SBSystemLocalNotificationAlert
and use
[objc_getClass("SBSystemLocalNotificationAlert") presentWithLocalNotification:notification application:bundle];
but it is just an alertview not like ios5 notification center, and it looks like ios4's push.
I want to simulate push notification (IOS5) for my daemon like MobileSMS.
sorry for my english
If you want to simulate push notifications without APN service, you can try this library: https://github.com/acoomans/SimulatorRemoteNotifications
Works in the simulator too.
That's a tough issue. I do not know whether it is possible (correct me guys if I am wrong).
However if you only need this for testing, you can use Parse.com for sending push notifications. Their basic service that includes push notification is for free and they deliver a working example code how to integrate.
Is there any way in which the usage of the camera of the iPad2 can be restricted only to my application? even if it is using i tunes.
could not find any code related to it. some code would be helpful.
There's no way to achieve this. I think it could be done with quite a bunch of hacking if you were developing for Cydia, but I'm not sure ever then. If the user quits your application or switches from it, the system will make the camera available to any other app requesting it.
