configUSE_TASK_NOTIFICATIONS must be undefined or defined as 1 for these functions to be available.

Sends a direct to task notification to a task, with an optional value and action.

Each task has a private array of “notification values” (or ‘notifications’), each of which is a 32-bit unsigned integer (uint32_t). The constant configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES sets the number of indexes in the array, and (for backward compatibility) defaults to 1 if left undefined. Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 there was only one notification value per task.

Events can be sent to a task using an intermediary object. Examples of such objects are queues, semaphores, mutexes and event groups. Task notifications are a method of sending an event directly to a task without the need for such an intermediary object.

A notification sent to a task can optionally perform an action, such as update, overwrite or increment one of the task’s notification values. In that way task notifications can be used to send data to a task, or be used as light weight and fast binary or counting semaphores.

A task can use xTaskNotifyWaitIndexed() to [optionally] block to wait for a notification to be pending, or ulTaskNotifyTakeIndexed() to [optionally] block to wait for a notification value to have a non-zero value. The task does not consume any CPU time while it is in the Blocked state.

A notification sent to a task will remain pending until it is cleared by the task calling xTaskNotifyWaitIndexed() or ulTaskNotifyTakeIndexed() (or their un-indexed equivalents). If the task was already in the Blocked state to wait for a notification when the notification arrives then the task will automatically be removed from the Blocked state (unblocked) and the notification cleared.

NOTE Each notification within the array operates independently - a task can only block on one notification within the array at a time and will not be unblocked by a notification sent to any other array index.

Backward compatibility information: Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 each task had a single “notification value”, and all task notification API functions operated on that value. Replacing the single notification value with an array of notification values necessitated a new set of API functions that could address specific notifications within the array. xTaskNotify() is the original API function, and remains backward compatible by always operating on the notification value at index 0 in the array. Calling xTaskNotify() is equivalent to calling xTaskNotifyIndexed() with the uxIndexToNotify parameter set to 0.

@param xTaskToNotify The handle of the task being notified. The handle to a task can be returned from the xTaskCreate() API function used to create the task, and the handle of the currently running task can be obtained by calling xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle().

@param uxIndexToNotify The index within the target task’s array of notification values to which the notification is to be sent. uxIndexToNotify must be less than configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES. xTaskNotify() does not have this parameter and always sends notifications to index 0.

@param ulValue Data that can be sent with the notification. How the data is used depends on the value of the eAction parameter.

@param eAction Specifies how the notification updates the task’s notification value, if at all. Valid values for eAction are as follows:

eSetBits - The target notification value is bitwise ORed with ulValue. xTaskNotifyIndexed() always returns pdPASS in this case.

eIncrement - The target notification value is incremented. ulValue is not used and xTaskNotifyIndexed() always returns pdPASS in this case.

eSetValueWithOverwrite - The target notification value is set to the value of ulValue, even if the task being notified had not yet processed the previous notification at the same array index (the task already had a notification pending at that index). xTaskNotifyIndexed() always returns pdPASS in this case.

eSetValueWithoutOverwrite - If the task being notified did not already have a notification pending at the same array index then the target notification value is set to ulValue and xTaskNotifyIndexed() will return pdPASS. If the task being notified already had a notification pending at the same array index then no action is performed and pdFAIL is returned.

eNoAction - The task receives a notification at the specified array index without the notification value at that index being updated. ulValue is not used and xTaskNotifyIndexed() always returns pdPASS in this case.

@param pulPreviousNotificationValue - Can be used to pass out the subject task’s notification value before any bits are modified by the notify function.

@return Dependent on the value of eAction. See the description of the eAction parameter.
