How to dismiss a phonegap notification programmatically

Question

Is there any way to programmatically dismiss navigator.notification.alert()? I alert when there's a location services error, but if it clears, I'd prefer to dismiss it rather than require the user to do it manually.

Any ideas or solutions?

Thanks!

Hey i have got a change in java file for this. src/android/Notification.java

Added a reference to dlg.create()

First Declare this..

private AlertDialog alertbox;

Then add a case where you send "dismiss" from javascript

else if (action.equals("dismiss")) {
     this.dismissAll();
}

Method to be added :

public void dismissAll(){
    alertbox.dismiss();
}

Do remember to add the same in notification.js in www folder of notification plugin

dismiss: function(message, completeCallback, title, buttonLabel) {
    var _title = (title || "Alert");//Doesnt Matter!
    var _buttonLabel = (buttonLabel || "OK");//Doesnt Matter!
    exec(completeCallback, null, "Notification", "dismiss", [message, _title, _buttonLabel]);
},

Now add

alertbox = dlg.create();
alertbox.show();

instead of

dlg.create();
dlg.show();

at all the places.

And you are good to go by calling

navigator.notification.dismiss("",null,"");

This will dismiss all the alerts / confirm / prompt opened.
