I currently use Emacs as the engine that runs my window management system. The specific module isEXWM. Although EXWM is amazing, it is beyond it’s capabilities to manage Desktop Notifications. Being historically a Gnome Desktop user, I really missed them.

This package teaches Emacs how to manage notifications received by other applications via a D-Bus servicestandardized by the Free Desktop initiative.

• [X] Central place to access all notifications received
• [ ] Filter notifications by time, application, and status
• [ ] Silence notifications based on custom patterns
• [ ] Persistent cache for notifications (they’ll survive Emacs restarts).
• [ ] Optional integration with Emacs Mini-buffer
• [ ] Optionally shows GTK+ balloons for messages

Emacs OSD was tested with Emacs 24.5.1 but will probably work with any version compiled with D-Bus.

Install Emacs development headers, for example on Fedora:

dnf install emacs-devel

Buildeosd-pixbuf.so library:

make

Enable the package in Emacs

(use-package eosd:load-path"/path/to/the/eosd/")

To launchEOSD, assuming it’s properly installed, just executeM-x eosd and you’ll be sent to theEOSD Mode. Use the following key bindings in that mode:

• https://launchpad.net/notify-osd
• http://www.knopwob.org/dunst
• https://github.com/GNOME/notification-daemon

Emacs OSD is organized in three modules: D-Bus interface, Notification Buffer, and UI.

TheNotification Buffer is the abstraction that binds the UI to the events received via D-Bus. It’s also the place that filters are applied.
