Popup notification/ GPS ready from within app

I'm writing an app which checks the GPS quality and then records this to the activity.

I've got the position quality working ok and a little icon showing the various strengths. I would like to have a popup like the native device software uses to show the message "GPS is ready" when it reaches QUALITY_USABLE.

How can I call a popup/ notification from within my app which does not involve user interaction? I don't want the user to have to click a button to remove the notification.

Thank you.

Based on the device, the FW might do a popup itself. If you want to do your own, set a flag or something to have it displayed in onUpdate().

What I do, is I have a variable like "popupSeconds" and set it to 10, and in my timer, decrement it until it reaches zero. Then in onUpdate(), if it's non-zero, display the message.

Thank you. Is there a native popup/ notification method (like a system.RaiseErrorText) or would it be a view/ dc that I would push?

On my FR235 it does send the popup automatically which is a good point, so perhaps this is superfluous...

Nothing native that can be used in CIQ, but as I said, it's something that's easy to add to an app
