Windows 10 toast notification sample

ToastNotification_Windows10.ps1

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"

$notificationTitle = "Notification: " + [DateTime]::Now.ToShortTimeString()

[Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager, Windows.UI.Notifications, ContentType = WindowsRuntime] > $null
$template = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager]::GetTemplateContent([Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastTemplateType]::ToastText01)

#Convert to .NET type for XML manipuration
$toastXml = [xml] $template.GetXml()
$toastXml.GetElementsByTagName("text").AppendChild($toastXml.CreateTextNode($notificationTitle)) > $null

#Convert back to WinRT type
$xml = New-Object Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlDocument
$xml.LoadXml($toastXml.OuterXml)

$toast = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotification]::new($xml)
$toast.Tag = "PowerShell"
$toast.Group = "PowerShell"
$toast.ExpirationTime = [DateTimeOffset]::Now.AddMinutes(5)
#$toast.SuppressPopup = $true

$notifier = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager]::CreateToastNotifier("PowerShell")
$notifier.Show($toast);

Thanks!

very useful, thanks!

An idea to workaround the "Windows PowerShell cannot subscribe to Windows RT events" error when trying to subscribe to the Activated event of the toast?

awesome! thanks

How can I avoid the toast will be deleted after 6 seconds no matter what expiration time is setted? :(

nice work, thank you!

This doesn't work for me for some reason. No error either. I have latest version of Windows 1709 16299.125 completely up-to-date.

@mikeyhalla
I have the same issue, this appears to be broken as of 1709

Yes it's broken now, if anyone found an alternative I'm interested :)

Edit: found the solution, use a real AppId, example here: https://gist.github.com/Windos/9aa6a684ac583e0d38a8fa68196bc2dc
