Is there any straight forward way to connect this with BrowserWindow notifications with Electron on Windows?

So notifications work out of the box on OS X, but not on Windows.

I managed to display show notifications on demand (with WindowsToaster but it could be with anything I guess) but how could we connect that with the notifications that are coming from the BrowserWindow?

I'm unsure what you mean. I've never used electron to a big extent, and don't know what you mean with connecting notifications from BrowserWindow to node-notifier.

Are thinking of using node-notifier as a fallback for electron notifications on Windows? In that case I'd say the best way would be to make your own abstraction of notification on top of Electron (just a function) that checks if you're on Windows or not. If on windows, use node-notifier.

Or you could just use node-notifier and let it handle all fallbacks and platform checking.

I was hoping to be able to subscribe somehow when the notification is being fired.. but it's not doable so I'll close this one for now. Thanks.

@lipis I created electron-notification-shim for exactly that purpose. It's really easy to use, just subscribe to notification-shim events in your main process. Bounce them back to the view if you want with the events returnValue or sender.send().

Will check at one point.. thanks.
