NAME

       notify-send - a program to send desktop notifications

SYNOPSIS

       notify-send [OPTIONS] {summary} [body]

DESCRIPTION

       With notify-send you can send desktop notifications to the user via a notification daemon
       from the command line. These notifications can be used to inform the user about an event
       or display some form of information without getting in the user’s way.

       -?, --help
           Show help and exit.

       -u, --urgency=LEVEL
           Specifies the urgency level (low, normal, critical).

       -t, --expire-time=TIME
           The duration, in milliseconds, for the notification to appear on screen.

           (Ubuntu's Notify OSD and GNOME Shell both ignore this parameter.)

       -i, --icon=ICON[,ICON...]
           Specifies an icon filename or stock icon to display.

       -c, --category=TYPE[,TYPE...]
           Specifies the notification category.

       -h, --hint=TYPE:NAME:VALUE
           Specifies basic extra data to pass. Valid types are INT, DOUBLE, STRING and BYTE.
