Right, I got your question now. @alexeygorelov

The -a option it's just used to define a name for the icon of the running "application". I really don't know why it isn't in the man page, but you can see it with the command notify-send --help. The result is something like below:

Usage:
  notify-send [OPTION...] <SUMMARY> [BODY] - create a notification

Help Options:
  -?, --help                        Show help options

Application Options:
  -u, --urgency=LEVEL               Specifies the urgency level (low, normal, critical).
  -t, --expire-time=TIME            Specifies the timeout in milliseconds at which to expire the notification.
  -a, --app-name=APP_NAME           Specifies the app name for the icon
  -i, --icon=ICON[,ICON...]         Specifies an icon filename or stock icon to display.
  -c, --category=TYPE[,TYPE...]     Specifies the notification category.
  -h, --hint=TYPE:NAME:VALUE        Specifies basic extra data to pass. Valid types are int, double, string and byte.
  -v, --version                     Version of the package.

Actually, I think that doesn't make any difference, so you can ignore it. Hope that it answer your question.

Yes, this is really what I asked. Thank you very much.
I am very ashamed!
man info --help I had to first check all these options. From now on I will try to prevent this.
This lesson was much more useful than what I learned the meaning of the -a option.
Once again, I apologize for my ignorance.

Hi, thank you for this script.
I want to use it maybe modify it a little bit.
What is the license for that script.

Hey, @marc31

I didn't include any license for it because it's just a toy project, so "Do What the Fuck You Want To" ;-)
