Notifications

Background

• There are 3 ways to notify the user of an event in your application:

1. Toast - a small and simple pop up in the foreground but does not steal focus from the application.
2. Status bar notification - An icon and text will appear at the top of the screen. Dragging down the status bar reveals more information and an optional action to take.
3. Progress dialog - A popup with a spinner or progress bar that takes focus away from the main appplication until the user cancels the operation (optional) or it is complete.
