Note: RegisterNotification() is an asynchronous method.

// Import Platform Service Interface
import com.nokia.lib.Service;

// Heading of the application
heading_txt.text = "Listening for incoming messages";
 
// Create a new Service object which has Messaging data
var messaging = new Service("Service.Messaging", "IMessaging");
 
var inParams = {Type:"NewMessage"};
messaging.RegisterNotification(inParams,onNotify);
function onNotify(transactionID:Number, eventID:String, outParam:Object) {
  if (outParam.ErrorCode == 0) {
    // New message got!
    var messageheader = outParam.ReturnValue;
    var sender = messageheader.Sender; 
	var bodyText = messageheader.BodyText;
	var messageType = messageheader.MessageType;
    var messageId = messageheader.MessageId;
	text_txt.text = "Message received! \rId: "+messageId+"\rSender: "+
        sender+"\rType: "+messageType+"\rMessage: "+bodyText;
  } else {
    var errorId = outParam.ErrorCode;
	text_txt.text = "Error: "+errorId;
  }
}
