I'm trying to send notifications to Mountain Lion from my python script and react to clicks on the notifications. Sending the notifications works perfectly find by now. But yet I was not able to get Lion to call back my script upon a click.
Here is what I do. I implemented a Notification class. The only purpose of an instance of that class is to provide notifications by invoking notify()
. In the same method I set the object the app's delegate.
import Foundation
import objc
import AppKit
class MountainLionNotification(Foundation.NSObject, Notification):
def notify(self, title, subtitle, text, url):
NSUserNotification = objc.lookUpClass('NSUserNotification')
NSUserNotificationCenter = objc.lookUpClass('NSUserNotificationCenter')
notification = NSUserNotification.alloc().init()
notification.setTitle_(str(title))
notification.setSubtitle_(str(subtitle))
notification.setInformativeText_(str(text))
notification.setSoundName_("NSUserNotificationDefaultSoundName")
notification.setUserInfo_({"action":"open_url", "value":url})
AppKit.NSApplication.sharedApplication().setDelegate_(self)
NSUserNotificationCenter.defaultUserNotificationCenter().scheduleNotification_(notification)
def applicationDidFinishLaunching_(self, sender):
userInfo = sender.userInfo()
if userInfo["action"] == "open_url":
import subprocess
subprocess.Popen(['open', userInfo["value"]])
Now I expected applicationDidFinishLaunching_()
to be called upon a click on the notification. Unfortunately that never happens. What am I doing wrong?
