Show notification banner only..

Question

I want to show notification banner only and don't want to add my notification in action center.. for some notifications.

Is there any API where I can decide this to add in the action center or not

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

In UWP, Toast Notification is sent via ToastNotifier, which will inevitably leave a record in the action center.

But you can try to remove history after notification:

private async void SendNotificationWithoutHistory(ToastNotification toast)
{
    toast.Tag = "testTag";
    var notifier = ToastNotificationManager.CreateToastNotifier();
    notifier.Show(toast);
    await Task.Delay(3000);
    ToastNotificationManager.History.Remove("testTag");
}

In this code, we first display a notification and then remove it from the action center after 3 seconds.

But currently, there is no API that can only show notifications without keeping records.

Thanks

You can try InAppNotification from Windows Community Toolkit (https://github.com/windows-toolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit). It provide notification within app, easier to call

// Show notification with simple text (and a duration of 2 seconds)
int duration = 2000;
ExampleInAppNotification.Show("Some text.", duration);
