The body read-only property of the Notification interface indicates the body string of the notification, as specified in the body option of the Notification() constructor.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
Syntax
var body = Notification.body;
Value
A DOMString.
Examples
In our Emogotchi demo (see source code), we run a simple spawnNotification() function when we want to fire a notification — this is passed arguments to specify the body, icon and title we want, then it creates the necessary options object and fires the notification using the Notification() constructor.
function spawnNotification(theBody,theIcon,theTitle) {
var options = {
body: theBody,
icon: theIcon
}
var n = new Notification(theTitle,options);
}
