What is that notification's in the notification center called? Is it just notifications?
How to view it: After a notification shows up: ignore the notification, go to the watch home screen, go to the clock app screen, drag from the top to the bottom of the screen to see the notification center.
We will see a notification with the title and the alertBody of the notification. When we click on that notification it will take us to a (Static) long look notification. What is that notification called int he center?
I don't believe they have a special name, it's just notifications.
If you are talking about dragging from the bottom to the top, you'll see a list of Glances. However, these have nothing to do with the notifications directly (the developer might have these display the latest information, which might be the same as in the notification, but they're not directly related)

Slack's little red dot is useful for telling you when you have unread messages, or people directly mention you with #yourname. But unfortunately it also shows up when people use #here or #channel - which quickly leads to you ignoring messages and missing ones that actually matter.
Is there some way to keep having the red dot for personal messages, but to lose it for inane #here and #channel mentions?
This link describes how to change your notification preferences for a channel.
Open the channel or group DM.
Click the gear icon to open the Channel or Conversation settings menu.
Select Notification preferences.
Choose your notification preferences, and whether you'd like to use different settings for mobile devices.
Click the close icon in the top right to save and exit.
In a VB.NET UWP app I am writing, I attempt to generate a local toast notification from an in-process background task. However, when I call show(toast) to display the notification, it does not display in the corner of my screen and goes directly to action center. Focus assist is not enabled on my machine, so I am unsure if the problem is caused by the termination of the background thread. How do I fix this and allow a local toast notification to pop up?
Oddly enough, a reboot seems to have solved my problem.
I'm new to Windows Phone development and I've found something about background agents in WP 7.5:
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/wpapps/CSWP7ScheduledTaskAgent-6450bcf1
I wasn't able to find a way of making the toast notification fixed, I mean, when it appears on the screen it should disappear.
Is there any way of doing this? any advices, documentation should be great.
Thanks.
Toast Notification by the OS
When a toast notification is created, the OS handles the amount of time it is displayed for...
A toast notification displays for about 10 seconds unless the user
dismisses it with a flick to the right. If the user taps the toast, by
default, your app's start screen launches. Or, you can choose to
specify which screen of your app will launch.
Taken from the official documentation.
The API for toast notifications does not allow you to specify a time. Only a title, content and deep link into your app. This is the only type of toast/notification that can be used by a Background Agent. But it will appear:
on the Start screen
when your app is being used
when any other app is being used.
Custom toast-like notification (eg. Coding4Fun Toolkit's Toast Prompt)
A custom toast notification, although more flexible, must obey all the system rules unlike the system's Toast Notification which has special permissions.
This means the Coding4Fun Toolkit's Toast Prompt cannot:
Display notifications when your app is not running (apps cannot run in the background, they are essentially paused)
Display notifications when the user is on the Start screen or not using your app
Having a permanently (or long) displaying toast notification would be annoying to the user (hence the 10 second limit by the OS version) so do think carefully about why you need it - is the System Tray or MessageBox a better idea?
If you're new to Windows Phone, I would recommend using a handset for a while to get the feel for how the system works and how other apps use all kinds of notifications.
On load of the the app will clear out all notifications in the notification center. How do I do that?
edit: I do not want to delete the actual notification, I want to clear the it from notification center (the swipe down menu). The notification is reoccurring so do not want to clear it.
This is the case; notification goes off, the phone is locked. The user unlocks the phone and does other things on the phone. Then later goes into my app. After exiting the app the notification center still shows the notification. Hope this makes more sense.
İ have a windows application. I made it in v.s 2008 with c#. I want to put it on trace when i m installing it. like windows messenger, yahoo messenger etc...
I can only guess that by 'trace' you mean the Taskbar Notification Area. To add an icon in the notification area you use a NotificationIcon component. To react to user interacting with your icon you add event handlers or set the ContextMenu to your notification icon. The MSDN help for the NotificationIcon has a sample on how to achieve most common tasks like hiding the form on close and activate it back on notification icon click.
