# deferred.notify()

Categories: Deferred Object

## deferred.notify( args ) Returns: Deferred

Description: Call the progressCallbacks on a Deferred object with the given args.

- #### version added: 1.7deferred.notify( args )

  args Optional arguments that are passed to the progressCallbacks.

Normally, only the creator of a Deferred should call this method; you can prevent other code from changing the Deferred's state or reporting status by returning a restricted Promise object through deferred.promise().

When `deferred.notify` is called, any progressCallbacks added by `deferred.then` or `deferred.progress` are called. Callbacks are executed in the order they were added. Each callback is passed the `args` from the `.notify()`. Any calls to `.notify()` after a Deferred is resolved or rejected (or any progressCallbacks added after that) are ignored. For more information, see the documentation for Deferred object.
