A wrapper for using the Desktop Notifications API, along with the previous webkit prefixed version.

It also uses the Growl notification APIs provided through MacGap or Fluid.

var Notifify = require('notify', );

var notifications = new Notify({/* default opts */}, {
    // Fallback options

    create: function (title, opts) {
        // Fallback custom notification handler if
        // desktop notifications are not supported.
    }
});

if (notifications.permissionNeeded()) {
    $('button').click(function () {
       notifications.requestPermission(function (perm) {
           if (perm === 'granted') {
               console.log('Got permission!');
           }
       });
    });
}

if (notifications.allowed()) {
    notifications.create('This is a notification', {
       body: 'It has some more description',
       tag: 'replaces-the-previous-one-with-the-same-tag',
       icon: '/images/applogo.png'
    });
}
