Steps To Create A Toast Notification
Import ToastNotifier class from the win10toast.
Instantiate the class.
Invoke the show_toast('title', 'message', duration = time_in_sec, icon_path = 'path to .ico file') method with the desired arguments.
You will get True as output after notification duration complete, if successful.
Let's see it with a simple example.
Example
## program to generate a simple toast notifier
from win10toast import ToastNotifier
## instantiating the class
notifier = ToastNotifier()
## invoking the show_toast() method with required arguments notifier.show_toast("Sample Notification", "You are learning at Tutorialspoint", duration = 25, icon_path = "globe.ico")If you run the above program, you will get the following results.
