I am trying to initialize an object of Notification provided by electron. But I am getting the error as: Uncaught Exception: TypeError: electron.Notification is not a constructor

I am doing this in Main process.

Code:

const electron = require('electron');
new electron.Notification({ title: "Cue", body: "Hello" }).show();

Electron version: 2.0.2/2.0.3

Any clues or ideas?

• javascript
• electron

• have you tried new Notification() rather than new electron.Notification()? – phuzi Commented Jun 25, 2018 at 17:28
• @phuzi yup gives me not defined. – Akashdeep Saluja Commented Jun 25, 2018 at 17:29
• which version of electron you're using? – OJ Kwon Commented Jun 25, 2018 at 17:30
• @OJKwon 2.0.2/2.0.3 – Akashdeep Saluja Commented Jun 25, 2018 at 17:38
• try debugging your code. What is electron.Notification? Is it undefined? – pushkin Commented Jun 25, 2018 at 17:52

I think you should write

new electron.remote.Notification({....})

instead of

new electron.Notification({....})
