Desktop notifications about chromeless

[mikedeboer]

Titanium 'borrowed' the Fluid.app API for this:

• http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/desktop/latest/Titanium.Notification-module

That API will be compatible across platforms (Growl/ libnotify/ windows custom)

[mikedeboer]

The addon-sdk also has a 'notifications' module, but the API doesn't seem to do Growl notifications just yet. It might be a limitation in the xulrunner version we are using(?) If so, than we might consider upgrading to a newer version...

[mikedeboer]

I tried upgrading XulRunner to b12pre (by changing the _config.py values in impl/mozfetcher), but after a correct download and extraction, it failed to launch the app with the following error:

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Volumes/(...)/chromeless/build/My Chromeless App.app.

... So I reverted back to b7pre... :(

I can look at this, yes I can. maybe tomorrow. It looks like an issue in appification (maybe sdk layout has changed).

now that we're upgraded to 4.0, desktop notifications should be acheivable with what's already in platform:

throwing this in the 0.3 milestone as a stretch goal.
