Cross-Device Notification Overview
The cross-device notification is designed to implement collaborative interaction of notifications between a smartphone and another devices such as a watch. Typical scenarios are as follows:
- Cross-Device Notification Management (for System Applications Only): Configure cross-device notifications for system applications and enable this feature as required.
- Clearing Repeated Notifications Across Devices: Clear repeated notifications published across devices and by the local device to prevent multiple notifications from disturbing users.
Constraints
- Cross-device notification is supported between phones and watches since API version 18, and between phones and tablets or 2-in-1 devices since API version 20.
- Notification slot types supported for cross-device notification:
- Watch: SOCIAL_COMMUNICATION and LIVE_VIEW.
- Tablet: SOCIAL_COMMUNICATION, SERVICE_INFORMATION, LIVE_VIEW, and CUSTOMER_SERVICE.
- 2-in-1 device: SOCIAL_COMMUNICATION, SERVICE_INFORMATION, and CUSTOMER_SERVICE.
