AWT's TrayIcon class has a method called displayMessage that shows a native OS message that in Windows 10 looks like this:
as a pop up and like this:
in the notification area.
Can JavaFX do this natively? I know JavaFX doesn't implement traybar support yet and one has to use AWT, but are these notifications traybar dependent?
Apparently javaFx Still doesn't provide way to show tray notifications, but you can use 3rd party library to achieve your goal .
TrayNotification
String title = "Congratulations sir";
String message = "You've successfully created your first Tray Notification";
Notification notification = Notifications.SUCCESS;
TrayNotification tray = new TrayNotification(title, message, notification);
tray.showAndWait();
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
ControlsFX
Notifications.create()
.title("Title Text")
.text("Hello World 0!")
.showWarning();
you don't need any 3drparti libraries.
you can use osascript and display in the mac.
// java version
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "osascript", "-e", "display notification \"Message\" with title \"Title\"" });
// koltin version
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(arrayOf("osascript", "-e", "display notification \"Message\" with title \"Title\""))
For anyone coming to this question in 2020, here's a stab at showing native OS notifications working with JavaFX:
https://gist.github.com/wiverson/d2edf0d66ad195c96793d0d25290753b
As noted in the sample, OS native notifications are best if the app is in the background - use ControlsFX notifications if the app is in the foreground.
This works on macOS Big Sur, should also work on Windows.

I'd like to customize a notification message in Windows 10 by adding two buttons in order to trigger two different actions. Microsoft toast content tutorial does exactly what I want, but the examples are in C# (which I've never used) and XML which I'm a bit familiar with. Is there a way to achieve the same result in pure java? Or alternatively how can i combine java and xml?
Here is an example of what I want, directly taken from the previously referenced tutorial.
At the moment I have managed to create a simple notification icon but as you can see from the output the are no actions.
public static void notify() throws AWTException{
SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage("");
TrayIcon trayIcon = new TrayIcon(image);
trayIcon.setImageAutoSize(true);
trayIcon.setToolTip("Demo");
tray.add(trayIcon);
trayIcon.displayMessage("Hello, World", "notification demo", TrayIcon.MessageType.INFO);
}
I would like to show some numbers on my tray icon indicating a number of events that happened to the user like what is done in this facebook notifications icons:
Do you think that it is possible ?
Thank you
You can do this using the TaskBar and TaskItem classes although it may not work on all platforms.
TaskBar taskBar = Display.getDefault().getSystemTaskBar();
// TODO may return null if not supported on the platform
// Get application item
TaskItem taskItem = taskBar.getItem(null);
if (taskItem != null)
taskItem.setOverlayText("your text");
Also try:
TaskItem taskItem = taskBar.getItem(shell);
where shell is your main application shell. The TaskItem JavaDoc suggests trying both methods of getting the TaskItem:
For better cross platform support, the application code should first
try to set this feature on the TaskItem for the main shell then on the
TaskItem for the application.
I'm using controlsFX for dialogs and I can't figure out how to set the width. A lot of my messages only include the title, masthead and buttons. But the text in the buttons isn't fully display. For example:
Action deleteStuff = new DialogAction("Delete Stuff", ButtonBar.ButtonType.OTHER);
Action deleteMoreStuff = new DialogAction("Delete More Stuff", ButtonBar.ButtonType.OTHER);
Action response = Dialogs.create()
.owner(stage)
.title("Delete")
.masthead("This is a delete dialog")
.actions(deleteStuff,deleteMoreStuff,Dialog.ACTION_CANCEL)
.showConfirm();
And one of the buttons will show: "Delete Mo..."
And yes, I know I should be using the Alert class, but the project is for machines running older versions of Java. Thanks in advance.
how to create a pop up when write clicked on the application icon in the taskbar .

appears. How can this be achieved in Java (using swing).
I believe you are referring to the System Tray in Java, have a look at this tutorial provided by Oracle: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/systemtray.html.
How to/What is a good library, to create a fading indicator message in Java like that of Outlook when you get a message, or Ubuntu/Gnome when you've connected to a network?
Java 1.6 has a TrayIcon class that can be used to display notification messages.
SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("tray.gif");
TrayIcon trayIcon = new TrayIcon(image, "Tray Demo");
tray.add(trayIcon);
trayIcon.displayMessage("Hello, World", "notification demo", MessageType.INFO);
Here's the result:
On Linux you may also have a little program called notify-send. It makes it easy to invokes the standard freedesktop.org notification system from the shell. You can also run it from Java.
String[] notifyCmd = {"notify-send", "Hello, World!"};
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(notifyCmd);
I had to apt-get install libnotify-bin to get this on my Ubuntu box.
I've tested these things on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10. In each case the notification disappeared after some time which is I suppose the fading indicator effect that you want.
I would use Trident animation library. Your task would be almost trivial if you use it.
Also you could take a look at Timing Framework, but it wasn't updated for a long time.
