  subject     => 'New Application',
  message     => 'Sublime2 has been installed to your machine!',
  refreshonly => true
}

package { 'Sublime2':
  ensure   => installed,
  provider => appdmg,
  source   => 'http://apps.example.com/sublime.dmg',
  notify   => Osx_notify['sublime_notify']
}

Send notifications on schedule

include osx_notify

schedule { 'cake_schedule':
  range   => '12:00 - 13:00',
  weekday => 'Friday',
}

osx_notify { 'cake_notice':
  subject     => 'Cake',
  message     => "There's cake in the cafeteria, grab some!",
  refreshonly => false,
  url         => 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cake',
  schedule    => 'cake_schedule',
}

This is how it looks:

0.0.4 ( 2013-02-07 )

* Reformatted osx_notify()
* Notify first user only
    Still no good way of sending notifications to multiple users.
* Added example image of notification

0.0.3 ( 2013-02-06 )

* Added rspec tests to verify basic functionality.
Will possibliy convert functionality into type/provider
