Notification Types In Windows Phone 7
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "Windows Phone Talk" @ 08:00 AM
"Push Notification is going to play a important role in WP7 and according to the recently published UI Design and Interaction Guide for Windows Phone 7 v2.0 there will be 3 types of Push Notification on windows phone 7. "
The three types of notifications WP7 will be:
- Tile notifications
- Toast notifications
- Raw notifications
The most interesting is the toast notification. Unlike in WinMo 5-6, the toast in WP7 won't disrupt your work flow. It only shows up in the task bar. This is a welcome change from 6.x where a text will totally disrupt you, and a multi-part text will make you want to throw your phone against the wall if it comes in while you are working on something.
