Header structure #
| Offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x1 | u8 flag: 0 = invalid, 1 = valid (“notification exists” flag). |
| 0x1 | 0x1 | u8 flag: 0 = read, 1 = unread |
| 0x2 | 0x1 | u8 flag: 0 = image data is not JPEG, 1 = image data is JPEG. |
| 0x3 | 0x1 | u8 flag: 0 = non-SpotPass notification, 1 = SpotPass notification (zero for system notifications) |
| 0x4 | 0x1 | u8 flag: 0 = opted in to this notification, 1 = opted out of this notification |
| 0x5 | 0x1 | u8 flag: 0 = message doesn’t have a browser link, 1 = message has a browser link |
| 0x6 | 0x1 | u8 flag: unknown |
| 0x7 | 0x1 | padding? |
| 0x8 | 0x8 | u64 programID: notification source (zero for system notifications) |
| 0x10 | 0x4 | u32 nsDataId: set by the sysmodule when handling BOSS notifications |
| 0x14 | 0x4 | u32 version: set by the sysmodule when handling BOSS notifications |
| 0x18 | 0x8 | u64 jumpParam: specified by source app and later retrieved via APT to identify which notification, if any, it was launched from |
| 0x20 | 0x8 | padding? |
| 0x28 | 0x8 | u64 datetime: milliseconds since January 1, 2000. |
| 0x30 | 0x40 | UTF-16 string for the notification title |
This structure is 0x70-bytes.
When NEWSS:GetNotificationHeader is used where the u8 flag at 0x3 is value 1, news-module then uses boss:P command 0x04070080 with the u64 programID at offset 0x8 in this header. When that’s successful, NEWSS:GetNotificationHeader copies the output u8, the SpotPass opt-out flag, from that BOSS command to the u8 flag at 0x4. Otherwise, the opt-out flag is 0 for opted in.
