Is Mathematica able to communicate with macOS's native Notification Center in order to notify me if an evaluation finishes in any of my open notebooks?
I'm looking for a solution similar to this one except it shouldn't rely on Growl.

A quick Google search returned:
Based on this, we can use
notify[asc_] :=
RunProcess[{"osascript", "-e",
StringTemplate["display notification \"`message`\" with title \"`title`\""][asc]}]
notify[<|"message" -> "I'm finished!", "title" -> "Mathematica"|>]
You can customize this further to your needs.

$\begingroup$ I don't know. The linked thread says 10.9. It works for me on 10.12. Output is as expected. $\endgroup$ – Szabolcs Oct 30 '17 at 14:08

$\begingroup$ Changing Mathematica settings is not necessary because all this does is it runs an AppleScript (see the linked post!) As for showing notifications after every evaluation: see
CellEpilogfrom the thread that you yourself linked. You might try to set this in the stylesheet. $\endgroup$ – Szabolcs Oct 30 '17 at 14:23 -
3$\begingroup$ I run in macOS 10.13
notify[asc_] := RunProcess[{"osascript", "-e", StringTemplate[ "display notification \"message\" with title \"title\""][ asc]}, "StandardOutput"] notify[<|"message" -> "I'm finished!", "title" -> "Mathematica"|>], and it works in MMA 11.2. It gives me a notification. $\endgroup$ – José Antonio Díaz Navas Oct 30 '17 at 14:27 -
$\begingroup$ (+1) It's too bad osascript doesn't allow you to change the icon. $\endgroup$ – Chip Hurst Oct 30 '17 at 18:04

2$\begingroup$ @Szabolcs Please excuse my stupidity. The notifications do in fact work perfectly. I had "Do Not Disturb" enabled yesterday and had completely forgotten about it. $\endgroup$ – Casimir Oct 31 '17 at 20:20
