I'm trying to use KNotification to show popup notifications in my program. Here is my notifyrc file:

Code: Select all

kuru.notifyrc:
[Global]
Comment=Kuru

[Event/newTweet]
Name=Tweet
Comment=Received a new tweet
Action=Popup

And then here's the code where I'm trying to create a notification:

Code: Select all

KNotification *notification = new KNotification("newTweet");
notification->setTitle("Twitter");
notification->setText(tweet.toMap()["text"].toString());
notification->setActions(QStringList() << "Reply" << "Retweet");
notification->sendEvent();
qDebug() << tweet.toMap()["text"].toString();

I see the output from that qDebug() call, but no notification. I get no error messages, though, so I'm not sure how to begin looking for the problem.

Have you installed the notifyrc file?

Yeah, it got installed into /share/apps/kuru/kuru.notifyrc by make install, but since I didn't see any other program's files there, I also copied it into /usr/share/kde4/apps/kuru/kuru.notifyrc which is where the notifyrc files for all the KDE apps are, but that still didn't fix it.

Try killing knotify4 as it may not have detected your application's notifyrc file. Also try running kbuildsycoca4.

Also try adding Icon and Name properties in the [Global] section.

That did it. Thanks!
