MBAE deprecation warning

Important

Starting in Windows 10, version 1803, the MBAE app experience is replaced by an MO UWP app. For more information about MO UWP apps, see UWP mobile broadband apps.

The DeviceNotificationHandler element specifies a device notification handler. A device notification handler allows you to run code in response to events, such as mobile network operator administrative SMS or USSD notifications, even if the Microsoft Store app is not running. For more information about implementing a notification handler, see the Mobile Operator Notifications white paper.

Usage

<DeviceNotificationHandler EventID=”xs:string” EventAsset=”xs:string”/>

XSD

<xs:element name="DeviceNotificationHandler" type="tns:DeviceNotificationHandlerType" maxOccurs="unbounded" />

  <xs:attribute name="EventID" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
  <xs:attribute name="EventAsset" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>

Remarks

  • When you specify the DeviceNotificationHandler in the Application element, the system calls the event handler and invokes the event when the device changes to the state.

  • The EventID attribute is the SMSEventHandler for the SMS device case.

  • The EventAsset attribute is the same value that you specify in the app manifest as an extension of Windows.BackgroundTasks.

The DeviceNotificationHandler element is optional.
