get_startup_notify_id


Description:

public virtual string? get_startup_notify_id (AppInfo info, List<File> files)

Initiates startup notification for the application and returns the `XDG_ACTIVATION_TOKEN` or `DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID` for the launched operation, if supported.

The returned token may be referred to equivalently as an ‘activation token’ (using Wayland terminology) or a ‘startup sequence ID’ (using X11 terminology). The two are interoperable.

Activation tokens are defined in the XDG Activation Protocol , and startup notification IDs are defined in the freedesktop.org Startup Notification Protocol.

Support for the XDG Activation Protocol was added in GLib 2.76.

Parameters:

this

a AppLaunchContext

info

a AppInfo

a startup notification ID for the application, or null if not supported.
