Usage

Here are a few examples of how to use the notification plugin:

The notification plugin is available in both JavaScript and Rust.

Send Notification

Follow these steps to send a notification:

  1. Check if permission is granted

  2. Request permission if not granted

  3. Send the notification

import {
isPermissionGranted,
requestPermission,
sendNotification,
} from '@tauri-apps/plugin-notification';
// when using `"withGlobalTauri": true`, you may use
// const { isPermissionGranted, requestPermission, sendNotification, } = window.__TAURI__.notification;
// Do you have permission to send a notification?
let permissionGranted = await isPermissionGranted();
// If not we need to request it
if (!permissionGranted) {
const permission = await requestPermission();
permissionGranted = permission === 'granted';
}
// Once permission has been granted we can send the notification
if (permissionGranted) {
sendNotification({ title: 'Tauri', body: 'Tauri is awesome!' });
}

Actions

Actions add interactive buttons and inputs to notifications. Use them to create a responsive experience for your users.

Register Action Types

Register action types to define interactive elements:

import { registerActionTypes } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-notification';
await registerActionTypes([
{
id: 'messages',
actions: [
{
id: 'reply',
title: 'Reply',
input: true,
inputButtonTitle: 'Send',
inputPlaceholder: 'Type your reply...',
},
{
id: 'mark-read',
title: 'Mark as Read',
foreground: false,
},
],
},
]);

Action Properties

PropertyDescription
idUnique identifier for the action
titleDisplay text for the action button
requiresAuthenticationRequires device authentication
foregroundBrings app to foreground when triggered
destructiveShows action in red on iOS
inputEnables text input
inputButtonTitleText for input submit button
inputPlaceholderPlaceholder text for input field

Listen for Actions

Listen to user interactions with notification actions:

import { onAction } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-notification';
await onAction((notification) => {
console.log('Action performed:', notification);
});

Attachments

Attachments add media content to notifications. Support varies by platform.

import { sendNotification } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-notification';
sendNotification({
title: 'New Image',
body: 'Check out this picture',
attachments: [
{
id: 'image-1',
url: 'asset:///notification-image.jpg',
},
],
});

Attachment Properties

PropertyDescription
idUnique identifier
urlContent URL using asset:// or file:// protocol

Note: Test attachments on your target platforms to ensure compatibility.

Channels

Channels organize notifications into categories with different behaviors. While primarily used on Android, they provide a consistent API across platforms.

Create a Channel

import {
createChannel,
Importance,
Visibility,
} from '@tauri-apps/plugin-notification';
await createChannel({
id: 'messages',
name: 'Messages',
description: 'Notifications for new messages',
importance: Importance.High,
visibility: Visibility.Private,
lights: true,
lightColor: '#ff0000',
vibration: true,
sound: 'notification_sound',
});

Channel Properties

PropertyDescription
idUnique identifier
nameDisplay name
descriptionPurpose description
importancePriority level (None, Min, Low, Default, High)
visibilityPrivacy setting (Secret, Private, Public)
lightsEnable notification LED (Android)
lightColorLED color (Android)
vibrationEnable vibrations
soundCustom sound filename

Managing Channels

List existing channels:

import { channels } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-notification';
const existingChannels = await channels();

Remove a channel:

import { removeChannel } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-notification';
await removeChannel('messages');

Using Channels

Send a notification using a channel:

import { sendNotification } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-notification';
sendNotification({
title: 'New Message',
body: 'You have a new message',
channelId: 'messages',
});

Note: Create channels before sending notifications that reference them. Invalid channel IDs prevent notifications from displaying.
