Supporting Notifications on Your Platform

  • Article

The notification subsystem in Windows CE consists of two parts: a base notification engine and a notification UI. The base notification engine, the Notify component, manages all of the notifications that are registered on the system and triggers notifications when an event occurs. The notification UI communicates notification events to a user and handles these notifications. To include the notification UI, choose either the Notifmin component for devices with no UI, or the Notifpub component for devices that can present a UI.

If you want application developers to be able to use notifications in the applications they create for your platform, you must provide notification support on your platform.

To support notifications on your platform

  1. Include the base notification engine in your project.
  2. Include, and optionally modify, your notification UI.
  3. Ensure that the interface between the base notification engine and your notification UI functions properly.
