Custom notification

[Eric Blanpied]

I'm trying to send myself a custom notification and it just doesn't go. Most
of this code is from the docs. It compiles fine, and I've tried sticking a
whole lot of error checking in and everything appears to be working ok.

I can register for and receive the standard notifications, but I never see
anything from this code.



error = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true, &searchState,
                sysFileTApplication, appFileCreator, true,
                &appCard, &appID);
if (errNone != error) return
        
/* Create the notification block. */
notifyParam.notifyType = customNotifyType;
notifyParam.broadcaster = appFileCreator;
notifyParam.notifyDetailsP= NULL;
notifyParam.handled = false;

/* Register for my notification */
SysNotifyRegister(appCard, appID, customNotifyType,
                NULL, sysNotifyNormalPriority, NULL);

/* Broadcast the notification */
error = SysNotifyBroadcastDeferred(&notifyParam, NULL);


(I'm using getnextdatabasebytypecreator instead of SysCurAppDatabase because
my app has no ui, and I'm not sure I'm registering at a time when my app is
the current one)

I'm totally new to this environment. Are there any common gotchas with
custom notifications?
