Here™ Notifications overview

Here™ Notifications comprises two components:

  • Notification Center application, the UI for users to display and manage notifications from their desktops

  • The notifications client library, which contains the APIs you work with to configure your applications' notifications

The client library provides a range of options to create and organize notifications to help your users stay up-to-date and complete their workflows. Notifications appear as toasts on the desktop and in the Notification Center app. You configure the notifications that your applications send, and these configurations can affect what your users see in the Notification Center UI. For example, if you add the stream property to sets of notifications, users can view their notifications by stream. Users can configure their Notification Center settings, such as location of notifications and notification toasts. Users access Notification Center by selecting the Notification icon in the system tray.
