+Then you need to add the permissions to your capabilities file:
+
+`src-tauri/capabilities/main.json`
+
+```json
+{
+  ...
+  "permissions": [
+    ...
+    "notification:default"
+  ],
+  ...
+}
+```
+

 Afterwards all the plugin's APIs are available through the JavaScript guest bindings:
 
 ```javascript
+import { isPermissionGranted, requestPermission, sendNotification } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-notification';
 
+async function checkPermission() {
+  if (!(await isPermissionGranted())) {
+    return (await requestPermission()) === 'granted';
+  }
+  return true;
+}
+
+export async function enqueueNotification(title, body) {
+  if (!(await checkPermission())) {
+    return;
+  }
+  sendNotification({ title, body });
+}
 ```
