from android_notify.core import asks_permission_if_needed


class AndroidNotifyDemoApp(App):
    def build(self):

Add Data to Notification

from android_notify import Notification, NotificationHandler

    def build(self):
        notification = Notification(title="Hello")
        notification.setData({"next wallpaper path": "test.jpg"})
        notification.send()

    def on_start(self):
        notification_data = NotificationHandler.data_object  # {"next wallpaper path": "test.jpg",...}
        print(notifcation_data)

    def on_resume(self):
        notification_data = NotificationHandler.data_object  # {"next wallpaper path": "test.jpg",...}
