Hi all, We've managed to use the Notifications API from our extension, thanks to John Gregg's implementation. However we are missing a key feature for us, which is to be able to have some logic inside the notifications itself, so that we can communicate with the background script for several things. I understand the way of communicating this components is under discussion, but are there any tips or clues for us to base our work on?
We've tried setting something like background to the Notification object and try accesing it from the inner javascript in the notification, with no luck, ince we can only reach up to a DOMWindow object. The same goes backwards, where onDisplay we were trying to call a method in the notifications internal javscript, but we can go deeper from the Notification object. Inside the DOMWindow from the notification we can go through chrome.[windows/tabs/extension] but any call to those APIs will throw an access denied error. Is there any workaround or something we can do in the short term to accomplish this type of communication? Maybe something like what content scripts do with ports. What are the proposals for this under discussion? Thanks for your help.
