Hi, how can I make one of the nice yellow hildon notification banners pop up, without needing a full GTK app - I mean like the low-battery notification isn't coming from a GTK app so I'm assuming there's a way to do it, even though the reference:

static Banner* Hildon::Banner::show_information ( Gtk::Widget & widget,
const Glib::ustring & text
)
says otherwise.

DBUS? PyMaemo? Anyone?

if you'd like to use QT, then there is QMaemo5InformationBox

What about from the console? How does the system generate this? I'm thinking of creating a very simple Growl GNTP listener that passes the messages received to hildon-banner. I don't need a GUI app at all for this, just a console app and hildon-banner!

No, no it's not.
dbus-send-notification doesn't exist on my N900.

The longer DBUS command creates a *modal* notification in the middle of the screen, which is not what I want

Interestingly, the python script in http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...53&postcount=1 creates a notification which looks similar to the new SMS popup. Still not the 'top bar' notification.

Actually, it is. The status bar applet that displays that notification may not be a standalone app, but it is still linked against the GTK+ and Hildon libraries and uses hildon_banner_show_information () to show that low battery notification.

But, to answer your question: run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteInfoprint string:"Message goes here."

How did you find this method originally, I needed to use the amazing mdbus introspection to find it - was it documented somewhere that I didn't look?
