Many of the apps that I want notifications for on my watch don't send the notifications to the watch (they are only on the phone). For example I use "Calendar Snooze", but the alerts only appear on my phone.
Is this just because the "Calendar Snooze" app needs to be updated? Is there an app that will collect other non-wear compatible app's notifications and send them to the watch (something similar to "Rich Notifications" for the pebble)
You could try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.jonasbark.wearnotifications I did nit test it though.
I believe those apps have to be updated to support Android Wear.

Im not sure if this just isnt part of the OS yet but is there any app other than the email & text messaging apps that use push notifications? anyone know if its something that is directly related to multitasking or is it just a feature that was left out due to time constraints? I've tried looking up this info but havent had any luck. Thanks in advance for any info.
I don't know if there is an app that uses "push" right now but I believe 3rd part apps e.g. weather or other apps can use "push" if they want to.
I don't think there are any at the moment but someone will probably create one.
i have seen two. pageonce and i belive the weather channel's app does as well. i think it does at least....it updates the weather on the home tile every 4 hours...without launching the app...so i could assuming its using notifcations. but pageonce for sure uses it, i've been getting my notifications often.
yes 1st, 2nd, 3rd party apps can use push notification,There are a few apps out there weatherbug is anohter.. I have an app that uses push as well its going through the process now to be added to the marketplace.. it send you push alerts when you fav. tv show is about to air.
Everyone including myself has the issue where once a day my phone stops getting notifications on my phone. It seems to be pretty wide spread but at the same time, some people don't have the issue at all. Which makes me think maybe it's a 3rd party app killing notification. So anyone who has the notification issue list all of your apps and maybe we will find one we all have in common.
To make this easy grab the app "List my apps" from the app store and edit the plain text template to remove the package name and just give you nice list of apps you can copy and paste .

Ok seeing how nobody is responding to my thread let me ask everyone this
How many people with the notification issue are running facer?
When I started having notification issues this was my app list:
- iHeartRadio
- Calculator
- UP by Jawbone
- Whoopee Wear
- Weather WatchFace
- Specialized WatchFace
- Planets WatchFace
- Swing by Swing Golf Scorecard
I then uninstalled all watchface apps and apps I don't use and reset Android Wear and the watch:
- iHeartRadio
- Calculator
- UP by Jawbone
- Whoopee Wear

Thanks for responding. But I Recommend you give a full android application list. Because other applications do push notifications such as Textra.
does acDisplay install on Android Wear? because i only listed my watch apps - which is where the problem is. The watch. Not the phone. At least not in my case.
In my case, the watch was receiving notifications, but wasn't alerting me of them.

I think this is why people wont respond because there are simply too many apps. Each person on here probably has 20-50 that are completely different from the next person. It would take a monumental effort to find a commonality between devices, something that should be Google's responsibility. It will simply be too difficult to filter through all the different apps people are using amongst each other.
The best attempt at self-diagnosis would be to just run your phone in a vanilla state and progressively installs apps one after the other over a period of several days to see if you can break the watch, then you would know which app is causing it. For instance the only apps I have really pushing notifications are Gmail, Google Messenger, and Exchange email. However even then, by just having Gmail connected I am going to get other things like Calendar updates, ToDo reminders, etc. Some things we may not even be able to disable so we'll never know where the culprit is.
Ultimately it shouldnt really be any of the apps since everything worked fine before the damn update to 5.x. Anyone know if it's possible to downgrade to 4.x?

If people would post using the app I mentioned above. I'll sort through and find a common denominator.
Just got my watch today. Love it so far. Have a question though. When I Swipe left to go to apps, I can scroll and see hangouts and look though all text conversations. BUT I can not see default google messenger and can't see whatsapp on the app list.
I am getting notifications but I can't open the actual apps to see history conversations. What am I missing?
That's correct. Apps like Whatsapp, Facebook messenger or Google messenger do not provide an app which you can start from the app drawer on the watch. They only open on notification and provide limited possibilities for interaction.
There is a 3rd party app that will provide more possibilities though.

I would swear I saw what's app and google messenger on the app list while watching tons of YouTube videos.
So, I can't rely start a whatsapp conversation then. Just reply? I don't think I want to install a 3rd party app. Just wondering.

Well you can in fact start a whatsapp conversation by voice command "Ok google send whatsapp message to ....". I don't use the google messenger, but I guess it will work as well by voice command.
But there is no app icon available to start a conversation (yet).
Hi,
As stated in the title, for some apps (for me it's Wordfeud, Gtasks, Slack, but I've searched and seen that other apps can ben concerned, WhatsApp for instance), I do not receive any notifications, until I open the app and discover that there is something new.
How can I solve this ?
Thanks for your help.
I answer to myself because this solved it in my case :
- go to "Manage apps" (on the launcher, left side zone, choose "Manage apps"
- choose the application you want notifications from
- uncheck "Restrict to launch"
You may try disabling Battery Optimization for the selected apps.
This appeared as a pushed update in the app itself, going into settings/ about. It adds expandable UI in contacts while in the app, and multiple contacts selection in contact list when in the app also.
noticed the same, without a detailed changelog it's a no go for me.
In Message app, the feature 'filter spam by phrases' is gone. How to get it back?
