Question

I’m working to get osx native notifications working. I’m able to create a notification but not get the didActivateNotification working. I want didActivateNotification to allow me to focus the window and remove the notification from the notification center.

Here is my code: notice.m

#import "Notice.h"

@implementation Notice

- (void) notify:(NSDictionary *)message {

    NSLog(@"Notification - Show it");

    NSUserNotification *notification = [[NSUserNotification alloc] init];
    [notification setTitle:[message valueForKey:@"title"]];
    [notification setInformativeText:[message valueForKey:@"content"]];
    [notification setDeliveryDate:[NSDate dateWithTimeInterval:0 sinceDate:[NSDate date]]];
    [notification setSoundName:NSUserNotificationDefaultSoundName];
    NSUserNotificationCenter *center = [NSUserNotificationCenter defaultUserNotificationCenter];
    [center scheduleNotification:notification];
}

- (void) userNotificationCenter:(NSUserNotificationCenter *)center didActivateNotification:(NSUserNotification *)notification
{

    NSLog(@"Notification - Clicked");

    notification=nil;
    [center removeDeliveredNotification: notification];
}

This is firing properly:

NSLog(@"Notification - Show it");

But this is not:

NSLog(@"Notification - Clicked");

Any suggestions? Thanks

You probably have to set the delegate for NSUserNotificationCenter:

NSUserNotificationCenter *center = [NSUserNotificationCenter defaultUserNotificationCenter];
center.delegate = self;

You should also make sure your Notice class implements the NSUserNotificationCenterDelegate protocol.
