Windows.UI.Notifications Namespace

Contains classes that encapsulate tile, toast, and badge notifications.

Classes

AdaptiveNotificationText	Represents the text content of an adaptive notification.
BadgeNotification	Defines the content, associated metadata, and expiration time of an update to a tile's badge overlay. A badge can display a number from 1 to 99 or a status glyph.

TileFlyoutNotification	Provides the details of a tile flyout (mix view) notification. This includes the notification's XML content and, optionally, its expiration time. This class also provides a method by which you can retrieve the current flyout notification's XML content. This class is part of the following general API usage pattern: Call TileFlyoutUpdateManager.GetTemplateContent to retrieve and fill in a blank tile flyout notification XML template Call the TileFlyoutNotification constructor to encapsulate the template content as a flyout notification Call one of the TileFlyoutUpdateManager methods to create a TileFlyoutUpdater Call TileFlyoutUpdater.Update to send the TileFlyoutNotification to the tile
TileFlyoutUpdateManager	Creates TileFlyoutUpdater objects specific to an app's primary or secondary tile, for use with a tile flyout (mix view) notification. This class also enables you to retrieve a blank tile flyout XML template to which you can add your content to define the tile flyout notification. This class is part of the following general API usage pattern: Call TileFlyoutUpdateManager.GetTemplateContent to retrieve and fill in a blank tile flyout notification XML template Call the TileFlyoutNotification constructor to encapsulate the template content as a flyout notification Call one of the TileFlyoutUpdateManager methods to create a TileFlyoutUpdater Call TileFlyoutUpdater.Update to send the TileFlyoutNotification to the tile
TileFlyoutUpdater	Used to send or clear a tile flyout (mix view) notification. This class also provides methods to start and stop periodic tile flyout notifications. This class is part of the following general API usage pattern: Call TileFlyoutUpdateManager.GetTemplateContent to retrieve and fill in a blank tile flyout notification XML template Call the TileFlyoutNotification constructor to encapsulate the template content as a flyout notification Call one of the TileFlyoutUpdateManager methods to create a TileFlyoutUpdater Call TileFlyoutUpdater.Update to send the TileFlyoutNotification to the tile
TileNotification	Defines an update to a tile, including its visuals, identification tag, and expiration time.
TileUpdateManager	Creates TileUpdater objects used to change and update Start menu tiles. This class also provides access to the XML content of the system-provided tile templates so that you can customize that content for use in updating your tiles.
TileUpdateManagerForUser	Creates TileUpdater objects used to change and update Start menu tiles for a specific user. This class also provides access to the XML content of the system-provided tile templates so that you can customize that content for use in updating your tiles.
TileUpdater	Changes the content of the specific tile that the updater is bound to.
ToastActivatedEventArgs	Exposes a method that retrieves the arguments associated with a toast action initiated by the user. This lets the app tell which action was taken when multiple actions were exposed.
ToastCollection	Represents a group of notifications for a particular app.
ToastCollectionManager	Provides methods for creating, retrieving, updating, and removing ToastCollection objects.
ToastDismissedEventArgs	Provides the reason that a toast notification is no longer displayed on-screen.
ToastFailedEventArgs	Provides the error code that was generated in the process of raising a toast notification.
ToastNotification	Defines the content, associated metadata and events, and expiration time of a toast notification.
ToastNotificationActionTriggerDetail	Represents the details of a toast action trigger.
ToastNotificationHistory	Manages the toast notifications for an app including the ability the clear all toast history and removing individual toasts.
ToastNotificationHistoryChangedTriggerDetail	Represents the details of a toast history changed trigger.
ToastNotificationManager	Creates ToastNotifier objects that you use to raise toast notifications. This class also provides access to the XML content of the system-provided toast templates so that you can customize that content for use in your notifications.
ToastNotificationManagerForUser	Creates ToastNotifier objects that you use to raise toast notifications for the bound user. This class also provides access to the XML content of the system-provided toast templates so that you can customize that content for use in your notifications.
ToastNotifier	Raises a toast notification to the specific app to which the ToastNotifier is bound. This class also lets you schedule and remove toast notifications.
UserNotification	Represents a notification for a specific user.
UserNotificationChangedEventArgs	Provides info when a user notification changes.

Interfaces

IAdaptiveNotificationContent

Defines the content for an adaptive notification.

Enums

AdaptiveNotificationContentKind	Specifies the type of content contained in the adaptive notification.
BadgeTemplateType	Specifies the template to use for a tile's badge overlay. Used by BadgeUpdateManager.getTemplateContent.
NotificationKinds	Specifies the type of notification.
NotificationMirroring	Specifies whether notification mirroring is allowed. Mirroring enables a notification to be displayed on multiple devices.
NotificationSetting	Specifies the limitations on tile or toast notification display.
NotificationUpdateResult	Describes the results of a notification update.
PeriodicUpdateRecurrence	Specifies the time period for subsequent polls of the tile or badge data source for new content. Used by BadgeUpdater.StartPeriodicUpdate, TileUpdater.StartPeriodicUpdate, and TileUpdater.StartPeriodicUpdateBatch.
TileFlyoutTemplateType	Specifies the layout template to use in a tile flyout (mix view) update. At present, only one template is defined.
TileTemplateType	Specifies the content template to use in a tile update. For a more detailed discussion of each tile, including an example of its XML coding, specifics on each template's image sizes, and use with different versions of the tile XML schema, see The tile template catalog. When displayed on a device set to a right-to-left (RTL) language, some templates are flipped from their left and right descriptions here. In many of the templates, the last line of text will not display if your tile includes a logo or display name. This does not apply to the large (310 x 310) tiles. For more information on the logo/short name, see Quickstart: Creating a default tile using the manifest editor. Important Windows 8.1 added new templates for large, square tiles. To distinguish large tiles from medium tiles (known as square tiles in Windows 8), all of the older templates were renamed. To account for this, notification payloads can be declared with a specific version. For compatibility across systems, a fallback attribute has been added so that both the old name and the new name are present. You must understand the distinctions between versions to ensure that your notifications are displayed. For more information, see Versioned templates. When displayed on Windows Phone 8.1, some templates do not appear quite the same as they do when displayed on Windows. For instance, peek templates on the phone flip from front to back rather than scrolling up and down. The number of lines of displayed text might be different, sometimes less on the phone, but usually more. Wide tile images on the phone fill the tile with the text overlaid on them rather than having a solid colored text area. Image collection tiles are animated and appear very differently. Differences that you need to be aware of are called out for each value.
ToastDismissalReason	Specifies the reason that a toast notification is no longer being shown. Used with ToastDismissedEventArgs.Reason.
ToastHistoryChangedType	Specifies the kind of change that has happened to a notification in toast history. Used with ToastNotificationHistoryChangedTriggerDetail.ChangeType.
ToastNotificationMode
ToastNotificationPriority	Specifies the priority of a ToastNotification.
ToastTemplateType	Specifies the template to use in a toast notification.
UserNotificationChangedKind	Specifies the type of user notification change that occurred.
