Those who have been lucky to upgrade to Wear 2.0 have probably noticed the removed Do Not Disturb toggle synchronization between wearable and phone. Some like it, some not. I didn't like it, so I made an app that does the sync. Currently it only works one way: wearable -> phone. With some hacking, sync is working both ways.

You can find the application in Play Store.
Source, builds and setup instructions are available in github and licensed under Apache 2.0.

Installation instructions for Watch -> Phone sync:
  1. Install phone application and wearable application from on-watch Play Store
  2. Launch application on Phone
  3. Click "Grant Permission" button
  4. Enable Do Not Disturb access permission for application
  5. Make sure all 3 checks in the application pass

Installation instructions for Phone -> Watch sync:
  1. Setup watch ADB
  2. Execute:
    Code: 
    adb shell settings put secure enabled_notification_listeners com.google.android.wearable.app/com.google.android.clockwork.stream.NotificationCollectorService:rkr.weardndsync/rkr.weardndsync.NotificationService
  3. Enable state broadcast in Watch Setup wizard

Currently synchronization phone -> watch is only possible by assigning permissions in ADB. Wear OS doesn't provide management settings. As this is not officially supported - it may not work for everyone or the next Wear version.

I love that something like this is now made, but I have a question. What is the first screenshot in the Google Play Store link for? I thought this was only for DND?

I'd like to install it and find out myself, but my ZenWatch 2 still hasn't received the update.

If your watch isn't updated, then the sync should work out of the box. As for the screenshot, I tried to show that the toggle in the watch will sync to the toggle in the phone. I'm not a designer.

Wonderful little utility. Thank you very much.

Fingers crossed to get phone > watch allowed.

I have a few apps that toggle DND via Tasker on my phone, and having it trigger the watch too would be sweet.

Good news and bad news.
The bad: notification access and all the management is unavailable in Wear. So there will not be an official way to make this work (source).
The good: you can grant the permission in ADB. I tried it and the app can actually switch DND on and off (source).

Having to run a single ADB command will probably not stop the brave people of XDA! So synchronization should eventually come to the watch, just give me some time to fix the current bugs.
Bonus news: AudioManager can be used in android <6 for sound modes. Haven't looked into that yet.

Sync from phone to watch is implemented and functional! v1.5 is being pushed to the Play Store. You just need to enable broadcast from phone in setup wizard and execute this command in the watch:

Code: 
adb shell settings put secure enabled_notification_listeners com.google.android.wearable.app/com.google.android.clockwork.stream.NotificationCollectorService:rkr.weardndsync/rkr.weardndsync.HackService

I'm just curious. What's the difference between this version available in the Play Store (source code available here) and your own? It looks to me as though that blunden may have forked your code.

That's how open source works, you are free to fork it or take it as an inspiration. His code isn't a plain copy paste, it looks like he even has sync to older android versions, which I didn't have time to do.

I can no longer sync both ways after the newest update, v1.6. I can only control DND from both devices from my watch. Anyone else having this problem with v1.6?

The first idea is that app got suspended after the update. Make sure watch app is updated and start the app on phone. I've added a check that will tell you if watch DND permission is granted. If everything passes, then there is probably something weird with the AudioManager. Previous version used the new NotificationManager, but it requires a running service for broadcast events. I've switched to legacy AudioManager that can use a stateless broadcast receiver.

[Edit:] Android 4.3+ support is being pushed. This needed a code refactoring, so bugs are probable.

Yeah, all three permissions were granted. You wouldn't happen to have the APK for the previous version?

V1.5 attached.

I would still prefer if you could make a logcat and I could fix the problem for the rest of the people. Just do these steps:
  1. Connect phone to ADB
  2. Enable DND, Disable DND on phone
  3. Enable DND, Disable DND in watch
  4. Run: adb logcat -d > bug_phone.txt
  5. Repeat with watch connected to bug_watch.txt
PM the logs and I may try to fix it. It's not the first time android APIs don't work in specific phones.

Just a quick FYI. Version 1.6 works fine here. Nexus 6 / Pure Nexus 7.1.1 / Magisk root. Huawei watch AW 2.0 7.1.1 stock.

I can start DND from either watch or phone and the other device enables.

It works when I start Sleep as Android; SaS enables phone DND and that enables DND for AW 2.0, then Tasker via AutoWear triggers theater mode on my watch. One step goodness! :victory:

    Watch app was updated to support Oreo Wear where broadcasts are no longer available. Which means that nothing will work without the Notifications permission in the watch. You'll have to connect the watch to ADB and run the command:
    Code: 
    adb shell settings put secure enabled_notification_listeners com.google.android.wearable.app/com.google.android.clockwork.stream.NotificationCollectorService:rkr.weardndsync/rkr.weardndsync.HackService

    New version with Send Logs button added. You can send logs via email to me directly (email in play store listing) or export somewhere else and attach to forum here.
    Also in Android 8, phone calls do net set DND mode any more. So I won't be able to reproduce the "phone calls" issue.

    Great news everyone. Google has decided to block all non Wear OS compliant apps from Play Store on March 4. This application hasn't been chosen as a compliant one (surprise surprise) so it will be gone in a month. APK files are posted in https://github.com/rkkr/wear-dnd-sync/releases for sideloading. RIP Wear.
