public class NotificationHandler
extends Thing

The thing template implemented by Things that are capable of processing notifications. Handlers are defined by propagating rows into the Handlers configuration table; this may be done in the XML for the Thing Template or Thing that implements this thing template. Handlers are read and cached by the platform whenever the entity is created or the configuration tables are updated, which is then leveraged by the NotificationContent and NotificationDefinition entities as part of the notifications infrastructure.

It is crucial that subclasses call the superclass method for the Thing.dispose() and Thing.initializeThing(com.thingworx.system.ContextType) methods. Failure to do so could prevent handlers from being recognized by the Platform.
