CHAPTER 8
Newton Services
8-4 Alarms
When a user chooses an action or alert from the Notify picker, the Notify
service automatically removes the chosen item from the picker. If your
application or transport completes an action listed in the Notify picker, it
must remove the action from the Notify picker by unregistering the action
with the Notify service. The Notify service automatically removes the
Notify button when the last item is removed from the Notify picker.
For more information on status slips, see “Status Slips” on page 2-20 and
“Routing Status” on page 7-29. For more information on notification alerts,
see “Notification Alerts” on page 2-17.
Alarms 8
Your application can use the Newton system’s Alarms service to display a
notification alert or perform other actions at a specified time. If the Newton is
asleep at the time the alarm is to execute, the system powers up the Newton
and executes the alarm. If the alarm displays an alarm notification alert, the
user can postpone the alarm for a specified time period by tapping the
Snooze button included in the notification alert, as shown in Figure 8-4.
