Why is that an abuse? I think we should define what we are looking for regarding the notifications. Do we want applications to define themselves how they handle notifications: should the notification come with a sound? a vibration? a led flashing? etc. or should we make the system handle that? I believe that having this handled by the system would lead to a better user experience because as a user I would be able to say that any notification should just vibrate and do a low volume sound for example. We could even imagine behaviour depending on applications or group of applications. For example, if I had to work in IT, I could configure some monitoring apps to do loud notifications while social apps would stay mute. If we want that kind of behaviour, I believe that using the settings is appropriate, thus, we should use the Setting API. Does that make sense? -- Mounir _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
