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);

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
