Soft notifications are reminders that inform the user of events that have +occurred in the user's absence, or while the mobile device user was busy with +some application. Text and graphics, can be used to communicate the message +to the user. Soft notifications are displayed in pop-up windows in the Idle +state.

+

The user can respond to the soft notification by using the softkeys. The +left softkey is used for activating a function, for example opening a message +that has arrived. The right softkey is used to discard the notification without +taking any further action.

+ +Soft notification indicating new messages + + +

Soft notifications are displayed only in the Idle state. If an event that +causes a soft notification (for example, a missed call) occurs when an application +is active, it may cause other kinds of UI events to notify the user, but if +the user does not react to these, the soft notification appears only after +the phone is put in the Idle state if the event still requires it.

+

The application that launched a soft notification can control it and also +discard it. It is possible to use the S60 key during a soft notification; +in that case, the soft notification disappears, but reappears when the user +returns to the Idle state, unless the application responsible for the notification +has discarded it.

+

Soft notifications can be displayed for the user in two different appearances:

+ + +Grouped soft notification. The height of the window is dynamic and +depends on the number of lines in the list. + + +
Using soft notifications +in C++ applications

The API to use for soft notifications is the Notifiers +API. For implementation information, see Using +the Notifiers API.
