So I was thinking, it would be very nice to get Navigation Notifications on the Gear Fit.
The problem is, if you activate notifications for Maps in the Gear Fit Manager and turn on navigation,
notifications won't show up. That's because the type of notification Maps is using.
I looked a bit into it and it seems i found an easy solution.
Someone would just have to write a small app, that's sending a normal notification
every time the actual Maps notification is updating.
Sure, you woud have to delete them later on since they will fill up your Bar,
but anyway, it would work. Just think of cycling for example or what ever.
Maybe i will try to do it, but if someone is experienced in this...would be nice to have.
A dedicated App could be useful as well, but would be harder to do.
Let me hear what you think of it.
Nice idea!

nice idea ! i think it will be also a good idea to have notification from WAZE : radar notification, accident , etc
yeah sure it would work with nearly everything.
i was researching a bit more into this and the app could be like this:
list with all your apps
checkbox so you can select all the apps you want to have notifications
some settings with intervalls etc.
this will also bypass the 10 apps limitation since you can select just this one app
and it will send all the notifications you need:good:

I just had an idea. Instead of texting by switching applications, what if you could just pull down the notification window, type a message and read it. If it worked with Google Voice, that would be very cool too!
I have no idea how to code this, but I am a designer and could create some pretty GUI for it.
You could try something like SMSPopup or the popup+quick compose shortcut that handcent has
Do you mean compose an entirely new message in the notification bar or reply to one you received?

I like his idea, I wouldn't mind seeing something official or official looking that popped up when long pressing an SMS notification that let you select reply, that kept you in your current app but popped up for replying like QuickDesk or SMS Popup does.

Maybe, but if you could send texts from the notification bar, next thing is someone else would want to send emails, someone else would want to make voice calls, someone else order pizzas and the next thing you know the purpose of the notification bar is lost in a jumble of features ... what's so difficult about pressing the sms icon to send a text?
Kind of pointless seeing how as you're one click and several milliseconds away from the full fledged SMS app. Remember, this isn't an iPhone, stuff works here - fast.
The notification bar is just that, a notification bar.

True. But I don't see why notifications can't have long-press options. The problem is, this would sorta have to be on a per-app basis. Meaning nobody would make an app that included a menu for the notification unless it was an official feature from Google, a part of Android 2.5, for example.

I was thinking that it would be a good idea to create something like what the OP wants, but I really like your response and you make a good point.
My two cense [yeah im UK so cant spell that word xD]
1) Popup SMS, I installed it very early on in my N1 career, never uninstalled it, its perfect for me.
2) While we dont NEED this, it would be interesting to see if its possible to type in the notification bar, as there may be other uses.
this gives me an idea too
i always hate going back to home or clicking music playing notification to change music.
If there was a little previous, play/pause and next icon it would be awesome. As the status bar is nearly always visible we never have to exit the current app we're in.
Hopefully someone can do this
but yeah sms would be cool too
A stinky note / drawing pad would be cool too. Just a way to quickly write a note, be it a phone number or grocery list, and view it anywhere without minimizing the current application.
Even though there are dedicated apps for all of this, the ease of use and speed of the notification bar are noticeable. The Framework is always running in the foreground.
Hi, I've been using Hover for a bit and am loving it. The only slight gripe I have about it is that when I get a message through Facebook messenger, it always shows me the "chat heads active" notification before the actual message. What would be really useful is if you could blacklist these hidden (permanent? Not sure what the word is, see the attached picture) notifications that come from some apps (Google Now does it too) but still allow "normal" notifications through. This would also be really useful with peek: I'm assuming that whenever I get a Google Now notification like this, saying the weather or something my device is waking up to poll sensors etc. This isn't necessary, but I don't want to blacklist the whole app as other notifications (reminders etc.) are useful and I'd like to be able to Peek at.
Sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense, it's rather hard to describe. I know hover and peek are relatively new features and I have no idea how hard this would be to implement, but if possible it would be great
Thanks for all your great work on this ROM!

Long hold notification > App Info > Blacklist > Blacklist from Hover/Blacklist from Peek
Sorry, got ahead of myself.
in fact the google now notification is not a persistent one, just it does show up very frequently, and sadly there is no option on which updates we'd like to receive
had the same problem with facebook messenger, just blacklisted the whole app because as there is a chat head hover notification would be useless
Morning all
Is there a way to get notification previews on the lock screen on the Z2? (Pop up box in center screen a la ios)
Have had a quick search on here and couldn't find any info, also been through a load of settings etc but havent stumbled across it.
I assumed it would be an option, without having to download another app.
Any help appreciated!

You'll have to wait for Android L or use an app like Knock².

Edit: Turns out the feature you want is not yet released in Knock, and will only be available in a later version. Sorry bout that.

This is a response on another forum I did but it suits this situation so it's just a copy and past. Wasn't sure if you meant a response to sms or just notifications but both are covered.
You have 2 options really. I just am using them both as had enough of the standard text app telling me I had a message after I read it in the notification bar (there is a easier way but I liked all programs so kept using them). There are other apps but I use Chomp SMS to replace the standard messaging app. This will give you the option of reply bubble without going into the messaging app like Iphone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.p1.chompsms&hl=en
Other options are Textra, GoSMS, Handcent...
But I have taken it on set further and use Nils which without the quick reply of Chomp SMS to give me the listed messages on the lockscreen as a widget. You can then just go straight to the message app from the lockscreen to answer if you hold and swipe.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget&hl=en
This will become redundant once we get 4.4.4 where it become standard in android.
If you just looking after preview you could go one or the other without getting both. I liked ChompSMS so matched it with nils. Also can use Icon Changer if you dont like the Icon for Chomp SMS which I will probably do.
All programs are free and available from the Play store. And you keep the original lock screen as I like the unlock method as well.
Thank you for your reply.
I'll check these out for sure.
Its funny, having been ios for 5 years, there are little things I miss.
What I don't miss is the godawful piece of trash known as 'iTunes'!!
(My main reason for ditching my iPhone, the other being I love my Nexus 7 and my little Nook HD)
Also just read up on Android L, lets hope the update rolls out to us Z2 users swiftly!
Thanks Again

You can enable the Android L feature already if you are rooted.
I have it and it's brilliant. Root the phone, install Xposed, install Heads Up Notifications, and voila.
I also have Light Flow installed (this doesn't require root). This basically turns on your phone's screen when you receive a notification (you can customise it to decide which notifications you want). It used to really annoy me how the Z2 didn't turn on when a notification was received.
Now, thanks to xposed, Heads Up Notifications and Light Flow (lite), I have the perfect setup.
Have a question hope you can help. I was getting weird text from a random number the other day so I blocked it. But in doing so I block all my messages notification so it does not tell me when I have a message. I've been trying to undo it but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? Thank you
So, fresh out of ios for the last few years I really got use to Google maps having banner notifications while in a different app and navigating.
It seems this is missing on the Android app. It must be doable because I get banner notifications for my phone and music apps.
Curious if anyone has any insight on why this great feature is missing, and if there's any word on it possibly being added.
Anyone have any info at all? Even a Google request page where this is being discussed would be cool. I can't find a thing about on the Web, an it seems like a significant thing to be missing.
They don't do the banner notifications in Android because it's in the notification drawer. Just have to swipe the status bar down to see it.

Hmmmm.... I will give that a shot, but they do banner notification for a couple apps. Phone comes to mind immediately.
Pulling down the drawer is a huge distraction, as is muting the navi voice when a call comes in.
I feel that a banner over my other apps would be more distracting. Different strokes for different folks and all that.
I don't see how on earth directions a person is relying on being hidden is less distracting than being visible. But ya.... Different strokes I suppose.
Given the fact it's on ios and not Googles own OS makes me wonder. I mean, ios is known for having more polished apps, and also known for having better Google Apps in some cases.
Because when I use Maps, it's connected to Bluetooth in my car, thus having no need to see directions. It also tells me where to go via voice controls. If you need to see the directions, why would you be in another app anyway? I sometimes pop into the directions to see a head of time if I'm at a stoplight or something, but just have to double click on the lockscreen notification or the notification drawer and good to go.
To add insult to injury, Google maps will flash a banner notification telling me the route is 'clear', or 'being rerouted'. So..... It seems very very possible to throw in the upcoming turn banner notifications as well.
And for those who use an ear piece, or no blue tooth at all an auto mute function would be so nice.
I just don't understand the lack of these features or the lack of people who find their absence not inconvenient at the least. *sigh *
Hi
Just bought this tablet and set it up today, after coming from the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. I am a long-term Android user and am happily using Oreo on my Galaxy S9. Unfortunately, either I am missing something or am totally thick, but I can't find anywhere how to change the notification sounds for various apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Gmail etc on this Mediapad. I have the 8.4in running Android 8 & had no trouble doing this on my Galaxy S9. I go into notifications, it only gives me the option to turn the ringtone on or off, doesn't give me any list of tones. I have made sure all the apps have storage permission and virtually all permissions except for location.
Please someone make me feel less thick!!! :silly::silly::silly:
It's weird because it is there for me. From top to bottom:
Silent - vibrate while silent - DND - tablet ringtone - vibrate while ringing - notification
And in the last one I can set a notification sound or music
Def not for me. I was wondering whether to try a factory reset
I have now done a factory reset. Same problem. Facebook is fine, however so far, Gmail and Twitter are 2 that do not have the option to change the notification sound. I can switch them on or off, but can't change the tone. If I was able to post a screenshot of what I can see, then people would know what I mean
I'm right there with you. Got my new tablet on Friday, and I can't figure out how to have different notification sounds for multiple email accounts set up in the Gmail app. I've done this before on other devices, but it seems to not be set up to work on this tablet. Anyone have any thoughts?
See here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/mate-10-allow-custom-notification-sounds-t3809095
The thing is I have actually looked under each app, which I had to do on my S9. Apps like Twitter you have to actually go into the settings, then apps, then Twitter, Gmail etc then find the notification within that and you can change it. But I have done that on this tablet and there is no option to change the tone. Facebook and messenger I have been able to change within their app. Any others, I cannot do within the apps or within the system settings. It's really strange. Shame we can't do screenshots on here.
