hey ok i really say it too ez for next questions too

for sending an notification must use
app.SendNotification(&fyne.Notification{Title: "Title", Content: "Content"})
it really have some rude problems it show name of app that sends notifications appID on windows always
and
also never show icon of app if set it before too (i tested on android and windows)
it's not nice tbh

Device :
OS: Windows 10 target:Windows-android
Go version: 1.15.7
Fyne version: 2.0.0

Can you please share a screenshot of the notification and point out where the app id is displayed on Windows?
The notification should be just title and content text.

For android maybe this is a duplicate of #936.
On Windows this could be a feature request for "Show app icon in notification"?

I'm having the same problem.

Here is my code:

package main

import (
	"time"
	"fyne.io/fyne/v2"
	"fyne.io/fyne/v2/app"
)

func main() {
	a := app.NewWithID("com.example.app")
	w := a.NewWindow("Test App")
	go showNotification(a)
	w.ShowAndRun()
}

func showNotification(a fyne.App) {
	time.Sleep(time.Second * 2)
	a.SendNotification(fyne.NewNotification("Example Title", "Example Content"))
}

And here is the result:

The expected result should be:

app/app_windows.go#35

[Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager]::CreateToastNotifier("appID").Show($toast);`

I have fixed the "appID" static text bug for 2.0.1 but I think we need a new App.SetName(string) for Aberlour to fix this correctly.

[Jacalz]

Can’t we just have it take the name of the first window instead? That should give us a better name than the appID, I think 🤔

[andydotxyz]

That crosses my mind, but it could also be irrelevant or empty (especially if a splash screen or tool window for example. Maybe that is a better fallback if no Id is set?

[Jacalz]

Well, I think the name of the first window would be better. From what I can see, most people use that as their application name and I would much prefer to have it say wormhole-gui than com.github.jacalz.wormhole-gui. If there is no name for it, we can either fall back to appID or just display “Fyne App”.

I'm not sure this should have been closed @madaxemad can you say why you thought it was done?

[andydotxyz]

The name is fixed, the icon is also reported in #2592, closing this ticket and leaving the icon specific one open
