                                           withStyle:NotificationStyleSlideIn];

    [[NotificationManager defaultManager] notifyText:@"This is a notification with an icon."
                                            withIcon:@"icon_info.png"
                                           withStyle:NotificationStyleSlideIn];

Display notification using Fade-In style:

    [[NotificationManager defaultManager] notifyText:@"This is a fade-in notification."
                                           withStyle:NotificationStyleFadeIn];

Display notification with custom duration:

    [[NotificationManager defaultManager] notifyText:@"This notification is taking too long."
                                           withStyle:NotificationStyleFadeIn
                                         forDuration:5];

Separate your text with /n to use multi-line notifications:

    [[NotificationManager defaultManager] notifyText:@"This is the first line./nThis is the second line"
                                           withStyle:NotificationStyleSlideIn];

Force a notification to any orientation:

    [[NotificationManager defaultManager] notifyText:@"This notification is for Landscape (Left) orientation"
                                           withStyle:NotificationStyleFadeIn 
                                    forceOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft];

Customization

To customize the look of the notifications, open the NotificationManager.h file and change the defined constants to alter the font, size and colors.
