Hi,
I just realised this - the "busy"/"do not disturb mode" isn't in Gnome 3.16. Before, when notifications were still at the bottom, there was a button that let the user set the notifications on silent. It was really convenient, and if I remember correctly, it even set the empathy status to "busy". Any chance this could be added, or any chance it's there and I just haven't found it? At the moment, the only way I can find of emulating this behaviour is to go to notifications in settings and turn off "notification banners".

If you click on "Notifications" in the calendar/notification bar popdown, that also takes you to this option.

Ah! Hadn't realised that. I'll use this for the time being. A switch somewhere would still be nice, though :)

I just realised that while this disables the banners, it still causes a notification sound - so it still tends to disturb me. :(
I'll look into it and file a bug if required.

It's worth noting that the UI was removed as part of the notification redesign, but not the functionality: - to mark the session as busy (a.k.a. turning off notifications): $ gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SessionManager \ --object-path /org/gnome/SessionManager/Presence \ --method org.gnome.SessionManager.Presence.SetStatus 2
- to mark the session as active again: $ gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SessionManager \ --object-path /org/gnome/SessionManager/Presence \ --method org.gnome.SessionManager.Presence.SetStatus 0
So I wouldn't discard a future comeback for the switch - there just wasn't a good place to put it after the removal of the message tray. I'd hope extensions start to play around with options though, and we can simply pick up the one that manages to convince us ...

Thanks Florian. This will come in really handy. It works just as you describe it. I used the first command and checked the notification setting - the "notification banners" switch was still ON - but no banner had come on. Should I file this as a bug?
Maybe someone could write an gs-extension for that function in the meantime.

For anyone interested in doing so, the dbus-glue still exists in js/misc/gnomeSession.js.

Technically this is not a bug, as the functionalities are different:
- the session status (a.k.a. Do Not Disturb mode) suppresses banners temporarily - however notifications are still queued up and banners will be shown when the session gets active again
- the switch in Notification Settings disables banners altogether, so turning it on again will only affect future notifications, i.e. banners that were suppressed by the setting are not replayed
It's incredibly subtle though, and something we should keep in mind if Do-Not-Disturb is exposed again.
