Thanks for your suggestion. Does your Emacs build supports imagemagick image view and svg feature support? Because company-mode now have built-in icons support. This is the reason that I switch from https://emacsformacosx.com/ to Homebrew cask Emacs version.
Hi, Please consider: I added full native notification support to the popular OS X Emacs build available in homebrew. This supports rewrites notifications-notify defun to use the native code rather than dbus, and so everything "Just Works". Info can be found here: https://github.com/choppsv1/homebrew-emacsmacportThanks, Chris. stardiviner < numbchild@gmail.com> writes: Here is the new patch which invokes notifications though Emacs built-in API `ns-do-applescript`.

I updated the patch, I found the package `osx-lib` contains solution. So I removed the directly osascript process invocation.
I have no objections any more. On the other hand I have no access to macOS, so I have not tested this patch. Feel free to ignore comments from this message, they are mostly matter of taste.
I expect that a simple script "notify-send" may allow to avoid modification of code. Something like (untested, unsure concerning "quoted form of ...")
#!/usr/bin/env osascript display notification (item 1 of argv)
However if osx-lib in is installed automatically, it may be more convenient. Unsure if some of currently supported linux distributions have notify-send that can not handle title as the first argument.
- ((fboundp 'notifications-notify) + ((and (eq system-type 'gnu/linux) (fboundp 'notifications-notify))
Does it mean that `notifications-notify' is bound but it does not work on macOS? If so, maybe it is better to put new clause for 'darwin above and to drop 'gnu/linux here. From my point of view, it is preferable to avoid additional requirement for `notifications-notify'. If someone will create a feature request for `notifications-notify' for macOS, it will just work without installing of additional packages as soon as such feature is implemented.
I indeed tried `notifications-notify`. And it does not work, reports error that it needs dbus. PS. I used the Homebrew formulae version Emacs. I considered the order of conditions. Because notifications and notify-send etc requires dbus. So I guess only Linux supports that. So add system-type detection will be better. WDYT?
I think you can add dbus support to macOS using homebrew and that might resolve the issue. At the very least, this will need to be investigated because otherwise, adding this patch may break configurations for users who have added dbus support via homebrew and have notifications working, but have not installed the osx-lib package.
My only small concern with your proposed changes is that it will add a dependency on a new package osx-lib, which I think is only available in melpa. At the very least, this will need to be documented somewhere. However, I'm not sure what the situation is wrt adding code which depends on an external package which is not available in either elpa or nongnuELPA? As org mode is a part of GNU Emacs, I suspect that any code which 'encourages' the use of melpa packages will not be acceptable.
