Displaying Notifications

VAR_noti_title="TITLE of the message"
VAR_noti_body="BODY of the message"
am broadcast -a gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity.Notification -e message "$GLNotiTitle|$GLNotiBody" -n gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity/.BootReceiver

---

Displaying Short Toast Messages

VAR_toast_text="BODY of the message, NO TITLE"
am broadcast -a gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity.Toast -e message "0$VAR_toast_text" -n gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity/.BootReceiver

---

Displaying Long Toast Messages

VAR_toast_text="BODY of the message, NO TITLE"
am broadcast -a gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity.Toast -e message "1$VAR_toast_text" -n gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity/.BootReceiver

---

Network Connectivity Check

Issue the following command to generate/update/refresh connection status indicators:

am broadcast -a gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity.ConnectivityCheck -n gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity/.NetworkReceiver

Generated indicator files (if the device is connected):

• On Wi-Fi: /data/data/gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity/connected_wifi
• On data network: /data/data/gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity/connected_data

If no connection or the connection changes:

• If no connection, No file will be generated and any existing indicator will be deleted
• Any indicator for inactive connection type will be deleted each time the above command is executed
• No automatic refresh. If you want automatic refresh add <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" /> to the intent-filter.

Now check for these files:

if [ -e /data/data/gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity/connected_wifi ]; then
	# do things what should be done on Wi-Fi
elif [ -e /data/data/gom.dolight.provider.shellinteractivity/connected_data ]; then
	# do things what should be done on data connection
else
	# device is not currently connected to the internet
fi
