A plugin for meteor-desktop that enabled native system notifications/toasts and icon badges.

Supports native system notifications in macOS and Windows 10 and falls back to electron-notifications for other Windows 7 & 8.

Did not test on Linux so any help is appreciated.

Usage

In your .desktop/settings.json add this package to your plugins list:

{
    "meteor-desktop-system-notifications": {
        "version": "0.0.2"
    },
}

On the Meteor side you can do the following:

• To set a badge on the app's icon

Desktop.send('systemNotifications', 'setBadge', unreadCount);

• To show a system notification

Desktop.send('systemNotifications', 'notify', {
    title: 'Title',
    text: 'Text',
    icon: 'Icon Url',
    data: {
        someVar: 'someValue',
    },
});

• To handle click on a notification

Desktop.on('systemNotifications', 'notificationClicked', (sender, data) => {
    //handle click
    //data is the data object you passed to notify
});
