Play sound when notification is showing

[PytByt]

Hi All..

I need to know how to play a sound from media control when my notification is showing up.

So, basically i want to play a sound when my notification is showing in the app.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Hi @PytByt,

Yes, the simplest approach is to set the autoplay property of the media control to the variable that triggers your notification.

NotificationAudio.Autoplay=

If( ShowNotification = true, true, false)

When the notification is closed or dismissed using a button you can use the reset function on the OnSelect property to end and reset the audio.

Button.OnSelect=

Reset(NotificationAudio);

You could also use the timer control if you want to limit the play duration by adjusting its autoplay property to your variable and its End property to reset the audio control.

This video from Mr. Dang outlines the process:

Hopefully this is what you were after!

Hi @Anonymous 

Is this a variable?

Reset(NotificationAudio);

 because i mean it in literally notification, like when we use:

Notify("Error", Error);

 
Can i use this NotificationAudio.Autoplay=

If( ShowNotification = true, true, false)

 but not as a variable?

I personally haven't had much experience with powerapps own notifications as I have generally had to make something more customisable so some other people in the community might have a better solution.

NotificationAudio would be the name of the Audio Control


Is this a variable?

Reset(NotificationAudio);

In the case your using powerapps notification I would still approach this with a variable, for example:

UpdateContext({PlayAudio: true}); Notify("Error", Error);


On the Autoplay property of NotificationAudio you would then use the context variable:

If( PlayAudio = true, true, false)


On the OnEnd property of NotificationAudio we can then reset the variable to false so the audio can be triggered again:

UpdateContext({ PlayAudio : false})


Hopefully this helps!

Hi @PytByt ,

You can use below formula to achieve this. Set the OnStart property of your app to:

:

Set(ShowNotification,false)

And for the notification formula, change it to:

Notify("Error", Error);Set(ShowNotification,true)

Finally, NotificationAudio.Autoplay=

ShowNotification
