I have published in github the last version of CCNotifications:
http://github.com/manucorporat/CCNotifications

There are an important new method:

You can send notifications from any thread.
- (void) addSafelyWithTitle:(NSString*)title message:(NSString*)message image:(NSString*)image tag:(int)tag animate:(BOOL)animate;

New version of CCNotifications.

- More stable
- You can use several notification designs.
- addSafelyWithTitle fixed.

I recommend update to the last version and use this method to show notifications:
```
- (void) addSafelyWithTitle:(NSString*)title message:(NSString*)message image:(NSString*)image tag:(int)tag animate:(BOOL)animate;
```
You can download it here:

Well,congrats, works great and seems useful
Just one problem, possibly something silly, as I'm new with this, but I get it to work showing my own notiifications and everything, and I also have OpenFeint implemented and working, I just can get the little notiffications from Openfeint to show using your notification system!!

(Maybe some code just seems odd, but it's 3am here so everythings possible..too many imports I know, need to clean it)

In my appDelegate.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "CCNotifications.h"
#import "OpenFeint.h"
#import "OFNotificationDelegate.h"
#import "OFDelegate.h"
#import "WindTennisOFDelegate.h"

@class WindTennisOFDelegate;

@interface WindTennisAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, OFNotificationDelegate,CCNotificationsDelegate> {
	UIWindow *window;
	WindTennisOFDelegate *ofDelegate;

}

@property (nonatomic, retain) UIWindow *window;

@end

appDelegate.mm

#import "WindTennisAppDelegate.h"
#import "cocos2d.h"
#import "MainMenuScene.h"
#import "Cocos2DController.h"
#import "ScoreScene.h"
#import "OpenFeint.h"
#import "WindTennisOFDelegate.h"
#import "OFDelegate.h"

- (void) applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication*)application
{

	//Openfeint init
	NSDictionary* settings = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
							  [NSNumber numberWithInt:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight], OpenFeintSettingDashboardOrientation,
							  [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], OpenFeintSettingEnablePushNotifications,
							  nil
							  ];
    ofDelegate = [WindTennisOFDelegate new];
    OFDelegatesContainer *delegates = [OFDelegatesContainer containerWithOpenFeintDelegate:ofDelegate];

	[OpenFeint initializeWithProductKey:@"YOUR_PRODUCT_KEY"
							  andSecret:@"YOUR_APP_SECRET"
						 andDisplayName:@"WindTennis"
							andSettings:settings
						   andDelegates:delegates];

	// Init CCNotifications (very easy)
	[[CCNotifications sharedManager] setDelegate:self];

	[[CCDirector sharedDirector] runWithScene: [MainMenuScene node]];
]

#pragma mark OpenFeint Delegate methods

- (BOOL) isOpenFeintNotificationAllowed:(OFNotificationData*)notificationData{
	NSLog(@"intento 1");
	return NO;

}

- (void)handleDisallowedNotification:(OFNotificationData*)notificationData{

	NSLog(@"intento2");
	[[CCNotifications sharedManager] addSafelyWithTitle:@"Openfeint:" message:[notificationData notificationText] image:@"openfeintlogo.png" tag:1 animate:YES];
	NSLog(@"intento 3");

}

After seeing It didn´t work I added the Nslogs to see if they are called any time an OFNotifications shows, but the aren´t
Are those two delegates methods supose to be there, on the AppDelegate?

also, my AppOFDelegate
.h

#import "OpenFeintDelegate.h"

@interface WindTennisOFDelegate : NSObject < OpenFeintDelegate >

- (void)dashboardWillAppear;

- (void)dashboardDidAppear;

- (void)dashboardWillDisappear;

- (void)dashboardDidDisappear;

- (void)userLoggedIn:(NSString*)userId;

- (BOOL)showCustomOpenFeintApprovalScreen;

@end

#import "cocos2d.h"
#import "WindTennisOFDelegate.h"
#import "OpenFeint+UserOptions.h"
#import "CCNotifications.h"

@implementation WindTennisOFDelegate

- (void)dashboardWillAppear {
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] pause];
}

- (void)dashboardDidAppear {
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] stopAnimation];
}

- (void)dashboardWillDisappear {
}

- (void)dashboardDidDisappear {
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] resume];
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] startAnimation];
}

- (void)userLoggedIn:(NSString*)userId {
    OFLog(@"New user logged in! Hello %@", [OpenFeint lastLoggedInUserName]);
}
- (BOOL)showCustomOpenFeintApprovalScreen {
	return NO;
}
@end

You should write OFDelegate correctly

OFDelegatesContainer* delegates = [OFDelegatesContainer containerWithOpenFeintDelegate:ofDelegate andChallengeDelegate:nil andNotificationDelegate:ofDelegate];

AppOFDelegate.h

@interface WindTennisOFDelegate : NSObject < OpenFeintDelegate, OFNotificationDelegate >
@end

AppOFDelegate.m

#import "OFNotification.h"
#import "cocos2d.h"
#import "WindTennisOFDelegate.h"
#import "OpenFeint+UserOptions.h"
#import "CCNotifications.h"

@implementation WindTennisOFDelegate

- (void)dashboardWillAppear {
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] pause];
}

- (void)dashboardDidAppear {
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] stopAnimation];
}

- (void)dashboardWillDisappear {
}

- (void)dashboardDidDisappear {
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] resume];
    [[CCDirector sharedDirector] startAnimation];
}

- (void)userLoggedIn:(NSString*)userId {
    OFLog(@"New user logged in! Hello %@", [OpenFeint lastLoggedInUserName]);
}
- (BOOL)showCustomOpenFeintApprovalScreen {
	return NO;
}

- (BOOL) isOpenFeintNotificationAllowed:(OFNotificationData*)notificationData
{
	return NO;
}

- (void)handleDisallowedNotification:(OFNotificationData*)notificationData{

	[[CCNotifications sharedManager] addSafelyWithTitle:@"Openfeint:" message:[notificationData notificationText] image:nil tag:-1 animate:YES];
}
@end

thanks for answering, but I don't get it to work yet..

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/313914/OFNotificationsOGL.zip

the are the files where the problem should be..
WindTennisAppDlegate.h/.mm
WindTennisOFDelegate.h/.mm
MainMenuScene.h/.mm
MainMenuLayer.h/.mm
It just a test app, Your notifications work great by themselves, and OpenFeint too.
The AppDelegate loads the MainMenuSCene, wich loads the MainMenu Layer.

First you must write this code in CCDirector:mainloop

	[[CCNotifications sharedManager] visit]; //<<< HERE
	if( displayFPS )
		[self showFPS];

	//
	CC_DIRECTOR_INIT();

	// Obtain the shared director in order to...
	CCDirector *director = [CCDirector sharedDirector];

	// Sets landscape mode
	[director setDeviceOrientation:kCCDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft];

	// Turn on display FPS
	[director setDisplayFPS:YES];

	// Turn on multiple touches
	EAGLView *view = [director openGLView];
	[view setMultipleTouchEnabled:YES];

	// Default texture format for PNG/BMP/TIFF/JPEG/GIF images
	// It can be RGBA8888, RGBA4444, RGB5_A1, RGB565
	// You can change anytime.
	[CCTexture2D setDefaultAlphaPixelFormat:kTexture2DPixelFormat_RGBA8888];

	[[CCDirector sharedDirector] runWithScene: [MainMenuScene node]];

I had everything like that already, so, nothing, still doesn't work..

@manucorporat, nada que no, ya lo tenia así y no me va. La linea esa en CCDirector:mainloop ya la tenia añadida, si puedo lanzar notificaciones con tu sistema en cualquier momento, me va perfectamente, al igual que me va OpenFeint perfectamente, con Achievements, Leaderboards y todo.
Pero cuando se me conecta algun amigo de OpenFeint, me mandan un mensaje, desbloqueo algun logro o algo, la notificacion me sale mediante el sistema de OpenFeint y no el tuyo…y no se porque.
Los metodos - (BOOL) isOpenFeintNotificationAllowed: y - (void)handleDisallowedNotification: no son lanzados en ningun momento, porque tengo NSlogs dentro y no se muestran en ningun momento por consola..

Lo mirare con mas calma y vere, mientras voy a pasar a otra cosa a ver si se me ilumina la bombilla. Gracias de todos modos crack.

jeje harto del ingles :)
pues yo no te entendí muy bien, ya que es algo bastante raro ¿? yo lo tengo integrado de modo que nunca salen las notificationes openfeint y siempre las otras. voy a comparar lo tuyo con lo mio a ver que ocurre :)
un saludo.

@manucorporat - thanks for this - its awesome! I'm still on the fence about adding openfeint but I'm using your code in my app and its working great. The only change I'll make is to create a new method that is not timed but will wait for a touch before hiding.

Just great, thanks again!

Cg

Oh, is there any other way to implement, other than altering CCDirector.m? I really like to keep my cocos2d files unmodified. If not then I'll just have to remember to patch each time I update cocos2d. Hmm, could I subclass drawScene?

Did I say thanks? well thanks again! :-]

Good luck with your game :)
Yes, I could subclass CCDirector, but probably you must rewrite all your code using CCDirectorWithNoti(for example) instead of CCDirector

New version of CCNotifications:
NEW - CACHED NOTIFICATIONS (wait until done)

This method is deprecated.
```
- (void) addSafelyWithTitle:(NSString*)title message:(NSString*)message image:(NSString*)image tag:(int)tag animate:(BOOL)animate;
```
Now you can create notifications easily:
```
[[CCNotifications sharedManager] addWithTitle:@"Notification sample" message:@"I wait until done" image:nil];
```
Download it:
(with example code)

Key Master
cocos2d v0.99.5 will include "native" support for notifications objects, like CCNotifications.

So, instead of patching the CCDirector, you can do this:
```
CCNotifications *notifications= [CCNotifications sharedManager];
	[[CCDirector sharedDirector] setNotificationNode:notifications];
```

Good idea riq!!
I will update the CCNotifications code in some days.

Now the integration with cocos2d is super easy!!!

// Init cocos2d
	CC_DIRECTOR_INIT();

        //Init CCNotifications
        CCNotifications *notifications= [CCNotifications sharedManager];

        //Add CCNotifications to cocos2d loop
        [[CCDirector sharedDirector] setNotificationNode:notifications];

        //Show a notification
        [notifications addWithTitle:@"Test 1" message:@"Hello world!!!!" texture:nil];

It's good that Rig has added the hook.
Before this was introduced, I was also able to get this around by using objective-c's Category - by creating CCDirector+drawScene.m since I didn't want to change CCDirector directly.

@manucorporat, Thanks for the great code!
I am able to get some default notifications displayed on my screen. This works great!
By the way, I am having some hard time trying to show images from my preloaded CCSpriteBatchNode.
I don't seem to find an example on your example code though.
Can you show how to design a custom Notification template using CCSpriteBatchNode?

Here's how I initialized my spritesheet:
```
NSString *imgName = @"test";

// For Jump animation: Create our sprite sheet and frame cache
sharedInstance.spriteSheet = [CCSpriteBatchNode batchNodeWithFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.png", imgName] capacity:10] ;
[[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] addSpriteFramesWithFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.plist", imgName]];
```
thanks again!

When you include CCNotifications in your game, there are 4 files:

Engine:
CCNotifications.h
CCNotifications.m

Notification template:
notificationDesign.h
notificationDesign.m

You should modify the notificationDesign files.
- You can change the text size, position, rotation etc.
- You can add a background image or a sprite animation
- You can change the notification size
.....

notificationDesign is a simple CCNode but it's conform with CCNotificationDesignProtocol to be compatible with CCNotifications.

You can use all cocos2d features in a notificationDesign.m, EVEN A PARTICLE SYSTEM!!!!

I just included this in my upcoming game (soon to be announced here) - great work @manucorporat!

I added a particle system to my notification popup (or pop down actually) which added a lot of depth to it.
To keep the particles constrained to the notification I added the following method to notificationDesign.m:
```
- (void) visit
{
	glEnable(GL_SCISSOR_TEST);

	glScissor((self.position.y) - 38, 0, 38, 480);
	[super visit];

	glDisable(GL_SCISSOR_TEST);
}
```
Using the above, all particles get cut off at the bounds of the notification box which definitely adds to the effect.

Note that the above works only for landscape mode left. You will need to change the glScissor(...) function call if you are using the portrait modes or the other landscape mode.

Moved to extensions subforum.
I dont know how CCNotifications should be included in cocos2d - as a part of main repo, or as a part of extensions repo?

How does one use the notification design template? I cant use the setTitle method that is under notificationsDesign.
