How to handle activation of Toast Notifications on Windows?

[emorell96]

Hi,

I was working on handling activation of toast notifications using the UWP Toast Toolkit (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/shell/tiles-and-notifications/send-local-toast?tabs=uwp) and I was wondering if I could hook up to the OnActivated event of UWP apps since MAUI uses UWP for its windows implementation.

On UWP usually you just hook up to this event on App.xaml.cs:

But that event is not the same as the one available on MAUI AFAIK.

Is it possible to handle the activation of the toast notification? Or do I have to follow the Desktop MSIX instructions of that page?

Thank you!

This is the type of tutorial everyone needs. A full example with the particularities of WinUI which removed completly the behavior of opening a new app when the user clicks on a notification. At the same time, it allows us to handle the notification prompted.
Nice job and thank you.

You can use .NET MAUI Community Toolkit for that

Don't miss guided by the Android and iOS screenshots the Windows implementation is exactly what you need!
