The notify-send command lets script notify you about events. However, in Gnome Shell 3.14.4, with fullscreen applications, such notifications will not be visible until you switch to Overview mode (Super-S). Is there a way to display such notifications above the current fullscreen window?

EDIT: I am open to alternative solutions than notify-send.

  • Set the urgency level to _critical_: `notify-send -u critical ...` – don_crissti Jun 26 '15 at 16:49
  • I had tried that: it makes the message more prominent in the Overview, but the message doesn't show above the current fullscreen application. – Eleno Jun 26 '15 at 16:52

    Works fine here, `gnome-shell 3.16.2` (not the classical mode though). – don_crissti Jun 26 '15 at 16:53
  • GNOME Shell 3.14.4 here. By "classical-mode", do you mean Gnome Classic? If so, then no: I am using Gnome Shell. – Eleno Jun 26 '15 at 16:55
  • Wait! It works. – Eleno Jun 26 '15 at 16:59
  • I hadn't tested it properly. I ran the command `notify-send` from the full screen terminal, but if I run `sleep 5 && notify-send` and then switch to another fullscreen application, then it works. I suppose the latter way mimicks my use case. Thank you. – Eleno Jun 26 '15 at 17:01
