I\'ve been playing around with Android Wear and making some dummy apps. What I\'ve noticed is that Android Wear doesn\'t seem to show the notifications that are ongoing,i.e., no
If you using service
to play music, Wear takes notification from RemoteControlClientCompat
and keep it ongoing while music is playing. It will looks like Play Music does.
barkside's answer is correct. I recently wrote an article describing the steps in details, but basically:
A sample app is available here: https://github.com/doubleencore/WearOngoingNotificationSample
And step-by-step directions are available here: http://www.doubleencore.com/2014/07/create-custom-ongoing-notification-android-wear/
On-going notifications will not show up on Wearable devices. Instead you have to implement a Wear App on the wearable and show cards from there.
Our notifications show up with setOngoing(true)
and Service.startForeground
but they didn't on the first day the SDK was out, might've been an update to the Android Wear Preview app?
I haven't tried yet "playing" with Android Wear SDK, but I guess that if there is a way to make ongoing undismissable notifications - it should be in conjuction with the Service.startForeground() Service method.. exactly like it works with the hosting android device...
