The notifications sample application demonstrates how to define, start, and stop notification events on a BlackBerry® device. Notifications include either hardware-driven notifications (such as a flashing LED light, a vibration, or a tone), software UI driven notifications, (such as a dialog box), or both.

The sample application demonstrates how to register the application as a notifications event provider with the BlackBerry® device, how to define what notification events are started when the event occurs, and how to start and stop the notification.
