Starting in macOS Ventura, I now have to toggle on Allow notifications when mirroring or sharing the display if I want notifications to show when using external monitors (even when not mirroring)

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ was wondering that too, but display notification doesn't appear to take an image parameter, just title, subtitle, and sound name

Seems like sound name doesn't allow you to play custom sounds in ~/Library/Sounds anymore. Anybody know a fix? Using macOS 10.13.2.

| Apr 2, 2016 at 20:49 | comment | added | grg♦ | @Dan Clicking a notification is never a dismiss action, which is why Script Editor is launched when clicking. You can dismiss a banner with a two finger swipe whilst hovering it. I may look into alternatives if I have time at some point. | |
| Apr 2, 2016 at 20:45 | comment | added | Dan | As Vic Jang mentioned but did not clearly explain, you can change the settings for how the notifications are displayed via System Preferences > Notifications > Script Editor > change from "Banners" to "Alerts". That way you can at least click "Close" instead of seeing the Open File dialog when you dismiss the notification. | |

display notification isn't working for me on El Capitan, although display alert works fine. The documentation claims both work. Any insight into this?

Note that the text has to be in double quotes. Single quotes don't work. So if you need a variable in the text, you cannot write "display ... '$mytext' ...", but need escaped double quotes: "display notification \"$mytext\" ...".

It was actually controlled by a setting in System Preference, rather than some parameter in the script written. These two images should explain it all i.imgur.com/cNOqFyX.jpg i.imgur.com/i8oyoan.jpg Have fun guys, and thanks @grgarside for the great answer. | |
| Jul 22, 2015 at 20:11 | comment | added | Pat | Nothing I've found indicates that there's a way to control the action (what happens when you click on the notification). macosxautomation.com/mavericks/notifications/01.html is handy, FYI. | |
| Jul 7, 2015 at 3:46 | comment | added | NedStarkOfWinterfell | Couple of questions - 1. Any way I can add certain actions on click of the notification? Say I want to run a certain shell script. I am on Yosemite, and it launches file browser. 2. How do I customize the notification with more options, like show a button within at the side on hovering over it, like what happens when the next iTunes song autoplays and notification appears showing that song, or when you click on the notification when you have a new message, two options come up - Send and Cancel? | |

| Apr 1, 2015 at 22:15 | comment | added | Sridhar Ratnakumar | Is it possible to make the notificatiop popup exist forever (not auto-hide after N seconds) until explicitly clicked by the user? | |

The only problem with display notification is that when you click on it, the open file dialog appears.

| May 2, 2014 at 18:32 | comment | added | grg♦ | @ceilingcat This is AppleScript. To run it in Terminal, use osascript (see answer). | |

I got -bash: display: command not found My path is kind of screwy though, so it would be nice to know exactly where display is located.

| May 2, 2014 at 18:11 | comment | added | grg♦ | @ceilingcat Could you clarify what you mean? What doesn't work? | |

What is the path of display? I have Mavericks but I can't see to find it. Thanks!

Wrap as a command-line script
