[Zhang, Qiang] I agree. The gpk-application can work offline, but we also need to notify user that the network is unavailable when the network state changed from "online" to "offline".
This patch only gives user the notification, and user also can continue using gpk-application.

[Zhang, Qiang] Yes, this is needed. Let me try to give a patch.
