Qt - notifications without tray icon, possible?
UPDATE: it seems this isn't working with recent versions of Qt. A workaround I found to make this work was to, after creating the QSystemTrayIcon:
- Call
show() - Display the desired message with
showMessage - Call
hide()
This works OK for me.
Create a QSystemTrayIcon but never call show() on it. Then you can use QSystemTrayIcon::showMessage to display your popup.
Just create popup class and show it somwhere on the desktop with always on top flag. Notification may also be a widget
