Notifications

The System Event Notification Service enables mobile-aware applications to receive notifications from system events that SENS monitors. When the requested event occurs, SENS notifies the application.

SENS can notify applications about three classes of system events:

• TCP/IP network events, such as the status of a TCP/IP network connection or the quality of the connection.
• User logon events.
• Battery and AC power events.

For example, an application can subscribe to any of the following system events:

• Establishment of network connectivity
• Notification when a specified destination can be reached within specified Quality of Connection (QOC) parameters
• The computer has switched to battery power
• The percentage of remaining battery power is within a specified parameter
• Scheduled events using Synchronization Manager occur
