=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Desktop::Notify;
# Open a connection to the notification daemon
my $notify = Desktop::Notify->new();
# Create a notification to display
my $notification = $notify->create(summary => 'Desktop::Notify',
body => 'Hello, world!',
timeout => 5000);
# Display the notification
$notification->show();
# Close the notification later
$notification->close();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides a Perl interface to the Desktop Notifications framework.
The framework allows applications to display pop-up notifications on an X
desktop. This is implemented with two components: a daemon that displays the
notifications, and a client library used by applications to send notifications
to the daemon. These components communicate through the DBus message bus
protocol.
More information is available from
This module serves the same purpose as C<libnotify>, in an object-oriented Perl
interface. It is not, however, an interface to C<libnotify> itself, but a
separate implementation of the specification using L<Net::DBus>.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new %opts
Connect to the notification daemon. %opts can include the following options:
=over
=item app_name
The application name to use for notifications. Default is C<basename($0)>
=item bus
The Net::DBus mesage bus to use. Default is to call Net::DBus->session, which
is usually where notification-daemon can be reached.
=item service
The DBus service name of the daemon. Default is
I<org.freedesktop.Notifications>.
=item objpath
The path to the notifications DBus object. Default is
I</org/freedesktop/Notifications>.
=item objiface
The DBus interface to access the notifications object as. Default is
I<org.freedesktop.Notifications>.

a L<Desktop::Notify::Notification> object; see that module for information
about using it.

=head2 close_callback $coderef
Sets a user-specified function to be called whenever a notification is closed.
It will be called with one argument, which is the Notification object that was
just closed.
