Basic Notification

This is the most basic code for a notification plugin, it doesn't have api suppport or other things but should work:

define('plugins/notifications/tutorial/register', [
    'io.ox/core/extensions',
    'io.ox/core/notifications/subview'
], function (ext, Subview) {

    'use strict';

    ext.point('io.ox/core/notifications/tutorial/item').extend({
        draw: function () {
            this.append( $('<span>').text('hello world'));
        }
    });

    ext.point('io.ox/core/notifications/register').extend({
        id: 'tutorialplugin',
        index: 1000,
        register: function () {
            var options = {
                    id: 'io.ox/tutorialplugin',
                    title: 'Test Notifications',
                    extensionPoints: {
                        item: 'io.ox/core/notifications/tutorial/item'
                    }
                },
                subview  = new Subview(options);

            subview.resetNotifications({ id: 'myNotification1' });
        }
    });

    return true;
});
