System and method for managing notifications from published applications

1. A method for managing notifications from published applications, comprising:

listening, at a remote application server, for notifications from one or more published applications launched by a user at a client device;

detecting a notification from the one or more published applications;

forming an intercepted notification packet containing information from the notification;

determining whether the client device has enabled polling and adding the intercepted notification packet to a queue of notifications when polling is enabled;

pushing the queue of notifications when a polling request is received from the client device; and

pushing the intercepted notification packet when polling is not enabled.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether a virtual channel with the client device exists, and

creating the virtual channel with the client device when the virtual channel does not exist.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

storing notifications from the published application in a database; and

sending the notification to the user using a delivery other than the virtual channel between the remote application server and the client device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the delivery of the notification is an email address of the user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the intercepted notification packet is pushed to the client device over an remote desktop protocol (RDP) virtual channel.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more published application are launched using a terminal session from the client device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more published application are launched using a web browser.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending administrative messages from the remote application server using the intercepted notification packet.

9. A method for receiving native notifications, comprising:

submitting a polling request to a remote application server when polling is enabled;

receiving, at a client device, a notification packet from the remote application server, wherein a terminal session is established between the client device and the remote application server;

extract notification type information from the notification packet;

creating a native notification based on the notification type information and client device information; and

pushing the native notification to a local operating system of the client device.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the native notification is one of a TOAST notification and an Action Center notification.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving a request to enable notifications from the remote application server;

creating a native notification using a web notifications API based on the notification packet;

displaying the native notification to a user at the client device while the web browser is one or more of minimized, closed or in a background.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

making a native API call to create the native notification and display the native notification.

13. A system comprising:

a remote application server comprising:

a hardware processor; and

memory, coupled to the hardware processor, comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by the hardware processor causes the remote application server to:

listen for notifications from one or more published applications launched by a user at a client device;

detect a notification from the one or more published applications;

form an intercepted notification packet containing information from the notification;

determine whether the client device has enabled polling and adding the intercepted notification packet to a queue of notifications when polling is enabled;

push the queue of notifications when a polling request is received from the client device; and

push the intercepted notification packet when polling is not enabled; and

the client device comprising:

a hardware processor; and

memory, coupled to the hardware processor, comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by the hardware processor, causes the client device to:

receive the intercepted notification packet from the remote application server, wherein a terminal session is established between the client device and the remote application server;

extract notification type information from the intercepted notification packet;

create a native notification; and

pushing the native notification to a local operating system of the client device.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the instructions executed by the remote application server further comprise:

determining whether a virtual channel with the client device exists, and

creating the virtual channel with the client device when the virtual channel does not exist.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the instructions executed by the remote application server further comprise:

storing notifications from the published application in a database; and

sending the notification to the user using a delivery method other than the virtual channel between the remote application server and the client device.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the delivery method of the notification is an email address of the user.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the intercepted notification packet is pushed to the client device over an remote desktop protocol (RDP) virtual channel.

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the native notification is one of a TOAST notification and an Action Center notification.

19. The system of claim 13 , wherein the instructions executed on the client device further comprise:

receiving a request to enable notifications from the remote application server;

creating a native notification using a web notifications API based on the intercepted notification packet;

displaying the native notification to a user at the client device while the web browser is one or more of minimized, closed or in a background.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the instructions executed on the client device further comprise:

making a native API call to create the native notification and display the native notification.

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions stored thereon that when executed perform a method for managing notifications from published applications, the method comprising: listening, at a remote application server, for notifications from one or more published applications launched by a user at a client device; detecting a notification from the one or more published applications; forming an intercepted notification packet containing information from the notification; determining whether the client device has enabled polling and adding the intercepted notification packet to a queue of notifications when polling is enabled; pushing the queue of notifications when a polling request is received from the client device; and pushing the intercepted notification packet when polling is not enabled.
