REST API call to mark notification as read

Hi mfeltscher 

I don't think there is an API available to mark a notification as 'read' right now. As there isn't a similar functionality in the UI, I am assuming that the REST call is something which could be introduced as a future improvement, if it is seen as a need by a significant group. What I suggest is to have a look on our Idea board and add a new idea about this - or add the suggestion to this existing idea which is hinting to similar features.

Cheers,

HI mfeltscher 

As per my knowledge its not possible to set user notification using rest api but it can be achiveable using jquery. I have done the same part. i.e. facebook shows notification on top of the page. I achived it using jquery. Following is the code. Hope it may help you:

;( function( $, undefined )
{
    $.fn.UserNotifications = function()
    {
        var $item   = $( '#user-notifications-menu-top' )
          , $list   = $item.find( '#notification-list' )
          , unread  = parseInt( $item.find( '.user-navigation-combine-notification-feed .lia-header-nav-component-unread-count' ).text() )
          , pageURL = $item.find( '.user-navigation-combine-notification-feed .lia-link-navigation' ).attr( 'href' );

        $item.find( '#alerts-count' ).text( unread );
        $item.find( '#notifications-page-link' ).attr( 'href', pageURL );
    
        if( unread > 0 )
        {
            $item.addClass( 'new-notifications' );
            $list.find( 'li:lt( ' + unread + ' )' ).addClass( 'unread' );
        }
        else
        {
            $item.addClass( 'no-new-notifications' );
        }
    };

} )( jQuery );

Note: Also you need to make some css per code.
