I am trying to create an event programmatically in App Designer, like a "PushedButton" or a "ValueChanged". Is it possible? I know that I can call the callback function directly, without passing the "event" argument, but I wish I could use notify function.
notify(app.myButton, 'ButtonPushed')
% Error using matlab.ui.control.Button/notify
% Cannot notify listeners of event 'ButtonPushed' in class 'matlab.ui.control.Button'.

Why not just call the ButtonPushed callback function directly?

Hey @Adam Danz, in a big project I prefer to create just one callback for several buttons (of the same family), using event.Source. If a create a "shortcut" for one of those buttons (an image in a mosaic, for example), I wish I could create an event programmatically.
function ButtonsPushedCallback(app, event)
switch event.Source
case app.Button1; % Execution code related to Button1
case app.Button2; % Execution code related to Button2
case app.Button3; % Execution code related to Button3
case app.Button4; % Execution code related to Button4
end
end
function Button1ShortcutCallback(app, event)
notify(app.Button1, 'ButtonPushed')
end

For push buttons, the event is a ButtonPushedData object with properties Source (button handle) and EventName ('ButtonPushed'). Your switch/case matches the Source with known button handles.
From what I understand, you want to directly call the ButtonsPushedCallback function and provide a known button handle so you can run some code that belongs to one of the cases. If that's correct, when you call ButtonsPushedCallback, if you have access to the app object, you can provide the button handle within a structure with a field named Source.
Example:
S = struct();
S.Source = app.Button1;
ButtonsPushedCallback(app, S)

Wow @Adam Danz, thank you! That's one of the kinds of answers that you think "It's obvious!". A simple and clever solution. It works! And now I just deleted more than 10 callbacks. :)
It's important to put true in the Value property of the button, so it could behavior like a "button clicked".
function ButtonsPushedCallback(app, event)
switch event.Source
case app.Button1; % Execution code related to Button1
case app.Button2; % Execution code related to Button2
case app.Button3; % Execution code related to Button3
case app.Button4; % Execution code related to Button4
end
end
function Button1ShortcutCallback(app, event)
% notify(app.Button1, 'ButtonPushed') % It doesn't work!
app.Button1.Value = 1;
ButtonsPushedCallback(app, struct('Source', app.Button1))
end

Glad it worked out! You could simplify my answer to create the structure and the field within the same line:
S = struct('Source', app.Button1);
