Notifier.show('Loading');

// 50MB test file from thinkbroadband to simulate a slow load.
var url = "http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com:8080/50MB.zip";
var client = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient({
// function called when the response data is available
onload : function(e) {
Notifier.setStyle('success');
Notifier.setMessage('Successful Download!');
setTimeout(Notifier.hide, 3000);
},
// function called at regular intervals as the request data is being received.
ondatastream : function(e) {
Notifier.setMessage('Loading ' + Math.round(e.progress.toFixed(2)*100) + '%');
},
// function called when an error occurs, including a timeout
onerror : function(e) {
Ti.API.debug(e.error);
Notifier.setStyle('error');
Notifier.setMessage('Error, Please try again.');
setTimeout(Notifier.hide, 3000);
},
timeout: 5000
});
client.open("GET", url);
client.send();
```

#### Fully stylable via TSS

Override this options in your `app.tss`.

```json
".caffeinaToastView":{
"top": 0,
"backgroundColor": "#A000",
"height": 65,
"touchEnabled": false
},
".caffeinaToastIcon":{
"left": 8,
"height": 42
},
".caffeinaToastLabel":{
"touchEnabled": false,
"left": 60,
"right": 10,
"height": 60,
"color": "#fff",
"textAlign": "left",
"font": {
"fontSize": 14
}
}
```

#### Work with Android or iOS modal Windows

On Android is not possible to make it work with Windows.

On iOS, with modal Windows, in not possible to open a non-modal window in front of another modal window.

So, to make it work with theese two cases, use the `view` property on open:

```js
Notifier.show({
view: /* Your Window/View */
});
```
