[APP][4.0+] Botifier: Push notification to Bluetoooth device

[grimpy]

Botifier
========

Pushes Android notifications from the notification drawer to any connected bluetooth device supporting AVRCP 1.3

Now supports Sony Smartwatch 2

* Show notifcations on car radio
* Show application as artist
* Show summery as album
* Show full notification text as title (can be splitted over multiple chunks max length is configurable)
* Play notification via TTS (text to speech)
* Use next / previous track to navigate through notifications
* Use pause / play button to remove notifcation
* Use forward button to close notification stream might help to regain focus to previous playing audio.

To test if your media device (car radio) supports AVRCP 1.3 play a mp3 song which has id3 information set and check if this information is shown on the media device.

There are two ways to provide this application with info about notifications via accesiblities or via notification access. The later one is the prefered method which is only support on Android 4.3 and up.

To enable Botifier via Notification Access (Android 4.3 only):
Goto Settings -> Security -> Notification Access -> Enable Botifier (Setting only available if Botifier is installed)

To enable Botifier via Accessiblity:
Goto Settings -> Accessiblity -> Enable Botifier

Do not enable both methods which will cause unexpected behaviour.

Cannot install on my Xperia Z (4.2.2)?

Initial tests work on my HTC One with CM10.2. Pretty neat and amazing out-of-the-box thinking!

Sent myself a text while listening to Google Play Music. Music stopped and notification showed for text. Had to manually resume music.

Go to Play Store and show as not compatible with my Xperia ZL and Optimus G
Download the attached APK and can't install

 

[mo_danish]

Play store tells me it is not compatible with my S3 4G, GT-i9305.

 

[dwaynel]

Looks great, but Play store says not compatible with my Galaxy S3 or S4. manually installing the APK gives a parse error.

 

[hexto]

Play store says its not compatible with my device and the apk file says "package parse problem ”

 

[ardcifliku]

Can't open the file. .. samsung galaxy note 2.

 

[locofocos]

My hat goes off to you, sir. I have to say your timing is impeccable.

 

[jogai]

Cannot parse package on N7000 too.

My music info doesn't show up usually. Does this work anyhow?

 

[riahc3]

I have to say that this is a original idea but still not very safe People might be tempted to read a SMS or a WhatsApp message (those can be long) You should put in a disclaimer to avoid any lawsuit against you....

The APK is broken....so

Tried to recomply the project but couldnt.

 

[Lo-P]

Look amazing. Hope it will be compatible with i9305 soon.

 

[riahc3]

I think I can get a complied APK from source.....the target in the project is API 18 though (which is 4.3) but I hope its set also for 4.2.2

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

OK updating my SDK tools.....give me some minutes.....Dont get yourhopes up though

 

[riahc3]

Good news: I was able to recomply it
Bad news: Indeed it is complied ONLY for 4.3 which completely sucks. Guy must have a Nexus 7 2013 because I have no idea why he would comply for only 4.3

Here is the APK signed with my certificate but it will give you the same error AFAIK

 

[riahc3]

I made the project compatible with API 16 but it seems there is a problem with the project itself on Github.....

Sorry guys cant do anything else.

AVRCP 1.3 is only available in 4.3 and older CM9 (I think) roms.

 

[dilanopro]

too bad..

 

[moskuito]

Great app! But there's a big flaw, at least IMHO : if you're listening to music from mobile through bluetooh , and the app triggers a notification, music gets paused !
You have to dismiss notifications by pressing play/pause on the car commends and only then resume your music...

Anyway we can get this sorted out?

Great app though, still a good idea !

Android 4.2 has a useless Broadcom bluetooth stack that has pretty much no support for AVRCP. Older versions of Android used BlueZ, which worked fine, and 4.3 has the completed Broadcom stack with full AVRCP support. The app is probably only targeted for SDK versions that it'll actually work on.

 

[raremind]

Yup fail

Sprint HTC One Stock - Play store say incompatible - APK gives a parse error after installation. Let me know if you would like logs.
