Is there a way to use notification/statusbar functionality, wihtout using any push/sync engine ? // Expert user has replied. G Gert Vandelaer 3 years 5 months ago 3 1 0 Hi all, I don't use push, just client pulling scheduled info from webservices .. I'd like however for the user to be notified in statusbar/notification_section of device, when the app is in the background. I read through the "push" sections of the rhomobile docs (i'm using latest git 5.0 branch), but the notifs are all linked to push functionality, which I'm not using. Also, ho.Notification.showPopup/showStatus is no alternative, because it's main purpose is ofcourse to notifiy user when app is in background. "beep/vibrate" works fine, but I don't understand why I cannot display a message in the notification/Statusbar section of the device ? grtz & thnx Gert

Hi,

You can display notification when application is in background by using Rho.Notification Api.

Code snippet
Rho.Notification.showPopup(
);

The above code will show a notification in notification bar when app is in background with customized icon.

Thanks
