Hi , I am trying to develop a simple sailfish app to notify the user when the battery charge percentage is reached certain point, say 90%, and i need to start this app when ever the charger is connected. Tried using systemd service and was able to start the app at startup but i want the app to be started only when the charger is connected.

Any suggestions / Code samples might help.

Only a pointer since I don't know any technical details myself:
You'd need to run a system daemon. Have a look at systemd units (Sailunit let's you browse the unit files used on Sailfish OS).
As for example code: It might use a different approach than systemd units for the daemon but WiFiKilL3r has one running in order to shut down WLAN automatically after disconnecting.
