| Issue 70: | IM notifications not showing up as expected. [A UNIFIED, BETTER EXPLINATION] | |
| 3 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Background an IM app (using backgrounder) 2. Receive IM (hear app notification) 3. Observe no notification whatsoever from status notifier. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Most people expect audible or visual notification via the status bar once an unread IM comes in. This does not happen since the APP (fring, AIM, etc) does not update it's icon badge status except during a "close application" request. When these applications close, they evaluate whether there are any unread messages and then update the badge status. This even goes for when you have badge on the icon and open the app. If you read the message the icon wont update until you close the app. Most applications from the app store do this "on close request evaluation" because they do not expect to be "backgrounded" What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? This is the case with the latest versions of AIM, FRING, OS 2.2, StatusNotifier 0.2.11 Please provide any additional information below. Until applications are backgrounder aware, this in not an issue with status notifier.

I noticed that this is from 1-2 years ago. I would also like to know if there is finally a solution to this regard. |
