              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...]
