A memory notification is emitted by MemoryMXBean
when the Java virtual machine detects that the memory usage
of a memory pool is exceeding a threshold value.
The notification emitted will contain the memory notification
information about the detected condition:
The name of the memory pool.
The memory usage of the memory pool when the notification
was constructed.
The number of times that the memory usage has crossed
a threshold when the notification was constructed.
For usage threshold notifications, this count will be the
usage threshold
count . For collection threshold notifications,
this count will be the
collection usage threshold count .
A CompositeData representing
the MemoryNotificationInfo object
is stored in the
user data
of a notification .
The from method is provided to convert from
a CompositeData to a MemoryNotificationInfo
object. For example:
Notification notif;
// receive the notification emitted by MemoryMXBean and set to notif
...
String notifType = notif.getType();
if (notifType.equals(MemoryNotificationInfo.MEMORY_THRESHOLD_EXCEEDED) ||
notifType.equals(MemoryNotificationInfo.MEMORY_COLLECTION_THRESHOLD_EXCEEDED)) {
// retrieve the memory notification information
CompositeData cd = (CompositeData) notif.getUserData();
MemoryNotificationInfo info = MemoryNotificationInfo.from(cd);
....
}
The types of notifications emitted by MemoryMXBean are:
A usage threshold exceeded notification .
This notification will be emitted when
the memory usage of a memory pool is increased and has reached
or exceeded its
usage threshold value.
Subsequent crossing of the usage threshold value does not cause
further notification until the memory usage has returned
to become less than the usage threshold value.

Subsequent crossing of the usage threshold value does not cause further notification until the memory usage has returned to become less than the usage threshold value.
This notification will be emitted when the memory usage of a memory pool is greater than or equal to its collection usage threshold after the Java virtual machine has expended effort in recycling unused objects in that memory pool.
