Android: Toast notifications
This isn't a question, more of a "here-ya-go".
Was doing some snooping tonight on the commits on Gihub, and Toast notification do, in fact, exist for Android, and DO WORK.
var toast = Titanium.UI.createNotification({
duration: 2000,
message: "Hi, I'm a toast!"
});
toast.show();
toast.cancel() also closes the current active toast. I've noticed that the duration isn't dependable, but I've more testing to do.
Enjoy!

Duration can be set either to Ti.UI.NOTIFICATION_DURATION_LONG or NOTIFICATION_DURATION_SHORT values.
And, if you want longer durations you can use setTimeout and repeatedly call .show() on the toast notification object.

Thanks for finding this.
They're still woefully undocumented by all accounts.
I can't find any mention, beyond the cited duration constants, in the docs.Digging around in the source code, specifically here:
titanium_mobile/android/modules/ui/src/ti/modules/titanium/ui/widget/TiUINotification.java
Reveals a number of properties in addition to
duration.These would be:
- horizontalMargin - verticalMargin - offsetX - offsetY - gravity
