Enabling Hybrid Web Container Message Notification

On each BlackBerry device, customize the alert profile to notify users when a new Hybrid Web Container message is received.

By default, Hybrid Web Container messages do not trigger BlackBerry sounds and alerts. The only indication of a new message is a change to the home screen icon. To add notifications, each BlackBerry user can create a new alert profile.

This topic describes how to configure alert profiles for Hybrid Web Container messages on a BlackBerry 9800 running BlackBerry 6 or a BlackBerry 9900 running BlackBerry 7.1: The steps are similar for other supported BlackBerry devices. For information about all devices, see the BlackBerry Manuals page at http://docs.blackberry.com.

  1. On the home screen, select the Sound and Alert application.
  2. Select Change Sounds and Alerts.
  3. Select Profile Management.
  4. Select Add Custom Profile.
  5. In New Custom Profile, enter a name for the new profile in Name.
  6. Expand Other Applications - Notifiers and choose Hybrid Web Container.
  7. Configure the sound, visual, and other alert options that you want.
  8. Save your changes and close the profile.
    For example, open the menu and choose Close. When prompted, choose the Save option.
  9. Activate the customized profile: return to the home screen, select the Sound and Alert application again, and choose the new profile.
