Question

Is there a LocalNotification PhoneGap/Cordova Plugin for WebOS ?

It can send a reminder notification at the specified time even if the App is not running.

plugins.localNotification.add({
        date : new Date(2012,6,10),
        message : "Phonegap - Local Notification \r\n -- For WebOS",
        ticker : "This is a sample ticker text",
        repeatDaily : false,
        id : 4
});

It exists as a PhoneGap plugin for iPhone and has been ported to Android.

If no PhoneGap plugin exists, what would I need to do to build one? I could use
Mojo.Controller.getAppController().showBanner
and Alarms to create some Javascript functions such as:

• addAlarm
• cancelAlarm
• cancelAllAlarms
• localNotification
• …

Any other ways to do this or sample code which accomplishes something similar for webOS?

I’m a fairly experienced programmer but brand new (2 days) to webOS and the Mojo framework.

Thanks!

Here’s some information in setting up alarms in Mojo applications:

You’ll want to look at the information on multi-stage applications as well. I’m not sure how easily it can be converted into a simple plugin but the functionality can be easily created.
