I have created a notification with normal and expanded view having player controls identical to google play. However, i dont see the notification with play controls on the android wear.

I have tried to build notification with actionButtons rather than remoteViews. Now i am able to see every action as a separate card on wear. But i want the look like the google play on wear. I saw similar screen for VLC player too.

Please help.

  • My notification requirement totally changed and then i never looked back. However MediaSession should help out. I will post comments on your question if i find any fix. – Ramesh Jun 25 '15 at 07:07

Android Wear automatically builds media notifications with play controls when you register a RemoteControlClient or its Android 5.0 replacement, MediaSession, using the transport flags you provide to determine which buttons to show and how responses get sent to your app.

  • How can I add custom action or page to Wear media notification? – Konstantin Konopko Mar 02 '15 at 22:50

    @konopko - `PlaybackState` has a [getCustomActions()](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/session/PlaybackState.html#getCustomActions()) method to retrieve custom actions beyond the usual. No support for additional pages AFAIK. – ianhanniballake Mar 03 '15 at 00:26
  • @ianhanniballake Can you please elaborate more on your answer? I did create a MediaSession Notification. But on the android wear, each action is shown on page. How can I have them on the same page? Thanks! – Ziad Halabi Jun 22 '15 at 08:18
  • @ZiadHalabi - how did you build your notification? You should be using a [MediaStyle](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/app/NotificationCompat.MediaStyle.html) notification and attaching your active `MediaSession` via [setMediaSession()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/app/NotificationCompat.MediaStyle.html#setMediaSession(android.support.v4.media.session.MediaSessionCompat.Token)). – ianhanniballake Jun 22 '15 at 16:10
  • @ianhanniballake Thank you for your reply. If you can please post a detailed answer to my question at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30988523/android-wear-notification-with-mediasession . This way I can give you credit for it. Thanks! – Ziad Halabi Jun 22 '15 at 19:48

  1. You can create custom notification like I described here Android Wear : Custom Notifications

  2. but best solution I think is to create full screen application for wear. you can check google sdk sample or github how to do it https://github.com/mauimauer/AndroidWearable-Samples/tree/master/SkeletonWearableApp

and send message to wear from phone when you need to open it. Good way to open wear activity from android phone you can find in DataLayer sample app.
