Notification using python

You can use you plyer to display notifications:

from plyer import notification

notification.notify(
title = "Sample Notification",
message = "This is a sample notification",
timeout = 10
)

Or you can run this code and generate notifications:

from plyer import notification

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

tk.Label(root , text = 'NOTIFICATION DEVELOPER').grid(row = 0, column = 0)
tk.Label(root , text = 'Notification Title:').grid(row = 3, column = 0)
tk.Label(root , text = 'Notification Message').grid(row = 4, column = 0)
tk.Label(root , text = 'Seconds for which it appears'). grid(row = 5, column = 0)

t1 = tk.Entry(root)
t1.grid(row = 3, column = 1)

m = tk.Entry(root)
m.grid(row = 4, column = 1)

tm = tk.Entry(root)
tm.grid(row = 5, column = 1)

def strt():
    a = int(tm.get())
    notification.notify(
    title = t1.get(),
    message = m.get(),
    timeout = a
    )
tk.Button(root , text = 'START NOTIFICATION' , command = strt).grid(row = 6, column = 0)

root.mainloop()

If you want he notifications to be displayed again after some time, you can use time.sleep(a) and loop the code. (a = time after which the notification will be displayed again.

For inserting icons, use app_icon:

app_icon = 'Full path of .ico file'

You can use Jason Chen's balloontip.py for this. It's almost 50 lines of code so I won't be pasting it here.

Seems to work in Windows 10 as well.

Thanks to zack for finding this gem.


There is also Windows-10-Toast-Notifications on Github.

It works on windows 10 (with pywin32) and it allows several notifications.

enter image description here


First, install win10toast by using pip:

pip install win10toast

Then, import it:

from win10toast import ToastNotifier

Make a variable called toast:

toast = ToastNotifier()

Show the toast variable:

toast.show_toast(
    "Notification",
    "Notification body",
    duration = 20,
    icon_path = "icon.ico",
    threaded = True,
)

It should look something like this:

python toast notification
