Android Wear notifications

We are right at the beginning, in a new phase in the miniaturization of the technology. Which means it finally possible to make a powerful computer  small enough to wear comfortably all day long on your body. Android Wear is a platform for wearables based on Android, Android Wear makes it easy for developers to rich users on this new form factor, using precisely the same tools we already familiar with on Android phones and tablets.

You can see all the detail here:


Google knows that style is important that's why Android wear supports both circular and square screens to match you style demands. Sensors will help Google to understand your context, so that they can provide you the useful information when you need it and also help you reach your fitness goals. Your watch will provide also intelligent answers to spoken questions. And across the world people check their Android phones an average of  125 times everyday, that's why Android wear is designed to quickly show the relevant information  and make sure you never miss an important messages, lets say it will engage you with the people  you are actually with. Google do this by working to understand the context of what you care about.

Android wear notifications type

Android wear will show you Always-ON display on your watch, that at any given time it surely do the most important things that Google knows for you. Throughout the day if you receive a notification which buzzes your phone, than your watch will vibrate on your wrist and will show you what's up in a glance, so that you won't miss a message. Swiping up and down navigate you through the stream of cards, which includes information from Google now and apps running on your phone and app running directly on your wearable. Also page indicator will allow you to see more detailed information. Just like your phones notifications shade, you can swipe a card away to move it from you screen and that notification will disappear. Pressing and holding will let you allow to choose the different styles suits your taste.
Android wear can work for you to show you important notifications like weather forecast, map navigation, allow you to set reminder through voice commands, and immediately sync your phone at the same time. Also when you swipe a notification from your watch, the same notification will disappear from your phone as well. And apps will stay and sync too. You can ask question to get brilliant answers from you wearable. you can receive/reject phone call or swipe up to send one of the quick message from you watch. You can swipe down to set do not disturb mode until you want and vice versa, you can control other device with your wearable like playing music, changing track etc, you can set an alarm with voice actions, you can track the steps you take also can see the step taken week history and also if the device support heart sensor, you can even detect your heart rate. these all thing an Android Wear can do for you.

Android wear SDK

Android Wear SDK enables you to build glance-able and contextual apps for this new category of this device. Android wear automatically bridges notification from your android phone or tablet to your watch, Android notification APIs already allow you to build beautiful user notifications with big pictures action and more, and there are hundreds of thousands of apps delivering these billions of  notifications everyday. And now they are available on your wrist.
Android wear Devices

You can install apps on wearable by installing app from play store on your phone, when a watch is connected than the wearable portion of the app is automatically installed and kept up-to-date  on that watch. And now you can buy one these device like (LG-G watch, Samsung Gear live, And Moto-360 ) from Google Play Store, and also the good news is all of these devices are water resistant so you can wear them without any extra care you do with your phone.

Moto 360


The Moto 360 is one of the most wanted smart watch to day, and while it certainly looks great not too much is known about the specifications of the device but even then here are some features that I am going to discuss here.
We know for sure that the device will run on Android Wear, the new OS made specifically for wearable devices. Other rumors are suggesting that the device will include an OLED display, which makes sense due to the fact that Motorola stated that they would use technology from the Moto X. An OLED screen would also be the obvious choice to save battery life.
Furthermore, according to the rumour the device will also include sapphire glass and that it will use induction wireless charging, which makes sense considering the fact that the senior director of social media at Motorola, Barbara Liss, has stated that the device would not be charged through USB.
None of these rumours are confirmed, however they do come from a leaker who has a pretty good track record as far as Motorola leaks goes, having given a lot of information about the Moto X and Moto G, and having predicted a smart watch from Motorola
what do you think? will you buy Moto 360?

Motorola has announced the Moto 360, a smartwatch that runs Google’s new Android Wear platform. In its introductory video, Motorola calls the Moto 360 “a truly modern timepiece.” The Moto 360 features a premium build centered around a circular watch face. Like all other Android Wear smartwatches, Google Now is the focus and can be activated by saying “OK Google.” Once activated, the features are just like the ones found on a smartphone or tablet. Sports scores, transportation times, reminders, and even sending a text message can be handled through the device.

The Moto 360 smartwatch appears to be what everybody wants in a smartwatch. It’s not only useful, but it looks gorgeous. The round design is refreshing, but it might also cause a few manufacturing hurdles.

A pretty reliable Motorola leaker says the Moto 360 won’t be easy to manufacture. The round design is what makes it so challenging. Cutting circular panels can be a wasteful process as well as placing internal parts in the device. The source suggests that it will probably only be offered in select regions.
Based on what we saw with the Moto X, I would expect the Moto 360 to be offered exclusively in the U.S, at least at launch. Similar to the Moto X’s cutting edge customizations, the Moto 360 is a very ambitious project. Supply issues or not, Motorola is going to want to make sure the process goes smoothly before releasing it globally.

A trailer explaining the Moto 360′s design:


Looks quite promising and most wanted smart watch, What do you think about the Moto 360?
