Remarks

Properties specific to the description of notificationCategory variables

The following properties can be used to handle a notification category:

Property name	Type used	Effect

DisplayLED	Boolean	True if the LED of the device must be switched on when the notification is displayed, False (default value) otherwise. The color of the LED and the frequency of lighting can change from a device to another one.
BadgeEnabled	Boolean	True (default value) if the notifications of the category should be taken into account to display the application badge. False otherwise.
ColorLED	Integer	Color of LED when displaying the notification. The value of this property is taken into account only if DisplayLED is set to True. The display color of the LED is green by default. This color corresponds to: an RGB color (returned by RGB), an HSL component of the color (returned by HSL), a preset color of WLanguage. Caution: Some devices do not allow you to modify the LED color or they do not propose all the colors. A default color will be used if the specified color is not supported by the device.
Description	Character string	Description of the notification category (optional).
Identifier	Character string	Identifier of the category. This property must not be left empty. This identifier is unique for the application (case and accent-sensitive).
Name	Character string	Category name. This name must not be empty.
Priority	Integer	Priority of notifications associated with the category. The priority of a notification has an influence on how the notification is shown to the user. In some situations, a notification with a low priority can be hidden to the user if other notifications with higher priorities are received. This property can take the following values: notifMaxPriority : maximum priority (example: incoming call). notifHighPriority : high priority (example : receiving an urgent email). notifDefaultPriority (default value): standard priority (example: receiving an SMS). notifLowPriority : low priority (example: notification for update). notifMinPriority: minimum priority (example: commercial information).
Sound	Character string	Path of the sound file to play when displaying the notification. To play the default sound of notifications, use the notifDefaultSound constant. This default sound can change from a device to another one. You have the ability to play a sound issued from an audio file included in the application (via the generation wizard): to do so, specify the name of the file and its extension. To associate no sound with the notification, use an empty string ("", default value).
Vibration	Boolean	True if the device must vibrate when displaying the notification, False (default value) otherwise. Note: The duration and the power of vibrations can change from a device to another one.
VisibleOnLockScreen	Boolean	True if the notification must be visible in the lock screen, False (default value) otherwise.

Note: These properties can be handled by using one of the following syntaxes:

<Variable name>..<Property name>
<Variable name>.<Property name>
