Hello!
I’m trying to make an app for android. Unfortunately, it does not have a game center, so I’m making one out of Game Minion/Corona Cloud.
Everything is going smoothly, but unlocking an achievement does not have a notification like the iOS game center does.
Is there a way to make this?
Thanks for the help.

Hi John,
Do you mean, something that basically mimics the iOS notification bar, but on Android? I imagine you could just program this in Corona easily enough, using a display group with a message and background bar that “slides” from the top of the screen, using a transition, then slides back up after a few seconds.
Is this what you had in mind?

Yes, something like that.
But ore-reating a display group may prove to be a problem, as the info in the display group changes each time, right?

Hi John,
I assume you mean “pre-creating” not “ore-reating”? Probably you were typing on a phone/tablet. 
How is your app set up? Are you using Storyboard or Director? In either case, I think the contents of this pseudo-notification-bar should be minimal, yes? As in, a background, some text, maybe an image or two… so it could be created per-scene, and the text value simply changed using the “.text” command on that object. Maybe I’m not fully understanding what your goal is, however…

Hi Brent, thanks for the answer!
I’m using Storyboard for this. I was thinking that there might be some pre-made functions for it. I’ll make one out from scratch then.
Thanks for your help.

Would this be a use for “Local Notifications”?
