Server Notifications
--------------------
Starting with version 2.2.0 the client will display notifications which origin
from the server. Notifications require a kind of manual interaction from the
user and they are triggered by certain events happening on the server. One
example is that somebody created a share from a remote ownCloud for the user
which has to approved. The notification will be something like "Do you want
to accept the share from user Joe on host owncloud.joesdomain.com", and the
user of the client can either click an Accept- or Decline-button.
Starting with version 2.2.0, the client will display notifications from your
ownCloud server that require manual interaction by you. For example, when a
user on a remote ownCloud creates a new Federated share for you, you can accept
it from your desktop client.
The desktop client checks for avialable notifications automatically on a regular
base.
If a notification is due for the user, it is displayed integrated in the
activity tab, and the user receives a tray notification to draw attention.
The desktop client automatically checks for available notifications
automatically on a regular basis. Notifications are displayed in the Server
Activity tab, and if you have **Show Desktop Notifications** enabled (General
tab) you'll also see a systray notification.

There is also the Announcement App that allows administrators to create
notifications for users. This is a convenient way to send information to
all users.
This also displays notifications sent to users by the ownCloud admin via the
Announcements app.
