Hello,
I need a way to get notifications at the time of starting a task or at
the start of the meeting (i.e. the SCHEDULED timestamp). Currently I
know of only getting notifications for the DEADLINE timestamp. However,
it will be more productive for me to get notification to tell me to
start working on a task (or attend a meeting).
Is there a way or a nice workaround? One way I could think of is define
as many notification durations as the time ranges existing in my Org
file. But that seems too much work.
Thanks,
Amit

Have you tried "Appointment reminders"? See (info "(org) Weekly/daily
agenda").

Thanks Marco. Yes, appointment reminders will work for me. Any idea how to
configure them in such a way that I get popups? Popups are helpful
especially when my focus is not on Emacs. Or even when I am connected to
a remote desktop (say through Citrix).

I put notify.el in my load path and added the following lines in my init
file.
(autoload 'notify "notify" "Notify TITLE, BODY.")
(appt-activate 1)
(org-agenda-to-appt)
Still I am getting only inline intimations for the appointments. Am I
missing something?

The commentary at the top of notify.el says:
,----
| ;; This provides a single function, `notify', that will produce a notify
| ;; pop-up via D-Bus, libnotify, simple message or growl.
| ;; To use, just put (autoload 'notify "notify" "Notify TITLE, BODY.")
| ;; in your init file. You may override default chosen notification
| ;; method by assigning `notify-method' to one of 'notify-via-dbus
| ;; 'notify-via-libnotify or 'notify-via-message
`----
Does that help? You probably need to set notify-method to something
reasonable for your platform. BTW, completely untested.
There are also some relevant answers in the FAQ:

Sorry, I set this up a long time ago, so I gave you the wrong info,
After searching my configuration files, I found this:
;; Update appt list and dbus appt notification
; Get appointments for today
(defun my-org-agenda-to-appt ()
(interactive)
(setq appt-time-msg-list nil)
(let ((org-deadline-warning-days 0)) ;; will be automatic in org 5.23
(org-agenda-to-appt)))
; Run once, activate and schedule refresh
(my-org-agenda-to-appt)
(appt-activate t)
(run-at-time "00:01" nil 'my-org-agenda-to-appt)
; 5 minute warnings
(setq appt-message-warning-time 15)
(setq appt-display-interval 5)
; Update appt each time agenda opened.
(add-hook 'org-finalize-agenda-hook 'my-org-agenda-to-appt)
; Setup zenify, we tell appt to use window, and replace default function
(setq appt-display-format 'window)
(setq appt-disp-window-function (function my-appt-disp-window))
(defun my-appt-disp-window (min-to-app new-time msg)
(save-window-excursion
(shell-command
(concat "/home/hoor/bin/org-appt-notify '" msg "' '" min-to-app "'&")
nil nil)
)
)
and here is the content of "org-appt-notify"
#!/bin/sh
SOUND="/home/hoor/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Sounds/Kopete_Received.ogg"
ICON="/home/hoor/GNUstep/Library/Icons/apps/system-config-date.tif"
ogg123 "$SOUND"
notify-send --icon="$ICON" "APPOINTMENT" "$1\ndue in $2 mins."

Thanks Charles. The above is indeed very helpful. I replaced the
notify-send command with the below one as the notification popup wasn't
visible to me when I was connected to Citrix desktop. Whereas the below
command worked.
zenity --info --text="$1 due in $2 minutes" --title "APPOINTMENT" --timeout 60
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
This should work now with the latest version (0.1.1) from ELPA.
Cheers,
