We are building an app where in there will be a need to display the updates/notification (ex : like status updates/wall posts on FB). These needs to be displyed at the lower right corner of the window(like any other notifications). So was trying on some alternatives to best display the updates. Some option explored are PopupWindow (which was not that great for status update) and dialog (seems ok). Are there any other good options for this and is there any pre-defined end corners position constants? Plz suggest.
I second the ToasterBox suggestion. You can also create your own Dialog though and position it by grabbing the screen resolution and the size of the dialog and setting its position. I've done the latter for a custom popup. On Macs, you can access Growl through a Python API that's mentioned on their website.
