[q] Notification app that leaves notification visible on watchface? - Sony Smartwatch 2

Hi,
So I recently got a sony SW2 at a firesale price, I've been trying a couple of notification apps - I was basically happy with Informer for my sms, whatsapp & email notifications but it was annoying that if I didn't notice my watch buzz at the time (eg I was riding along on my bike...) there was no visual indication that anything had happened as it dropped back to the clock face with no indication that notifications were waiting.
I've since been using the Augmented Smartwatch Pro trial, and it seems to do what I want - if I get a notification through it, instead of dropping the SW2 all the way back into it's official watchface, it runs in a low power mode showing it's custom watchface, and at the top I get a line with the latest notification (eg SMS from whoever). Once i've seen that I can then put the watch back fully to sleep with the power button (otherwise it seems like it might hammer the battery a bit more).
Unfortunately I'm not exactly wild about the Augmented Smartwatch Interface - it seems to want to do it's own thing which isn't very consistent with the smartwatch the rest of the time, and pretty ugly.
I'm just wondering if anyone is aware of/using any other apps that have similar features? All the ones I've seen seem to pop up notifications but then drop back to the sony watchface within a minute, which is less than ideal (I do a lot of bike riding and don't necessarily notice the watch vibrating when I'm riding, but will occasionally get the chance to glance at it!)
Cheers

There are a Sony widget with a counter for reiceived (not read) notification. So if you put the widget on your face you can see if you have unread notification.

Also with widget with 1 line for last notification and for the next event.

New Features Requested

Hey guys.
I just contacted Motorola to request some new features be added to the stock ROM (which in my opinion) would be crucial to increasing the functionality and battery levels of the watch.
Don't know if any Motorola Dev's/Engineers are following this site but just in case, I'd love to have these features asap.
Please add more if there is anything I have missed.
1. Have the ability to turn Vibrate OFF while still receiving notifications on the watch
Why ? Because I have my phone in my pocket constantly, and my phone vibrates when a new notification comes up. I dont need my pocket and my wrist vibrating together.
Also, Increase battery life.
2. Need to have the ability to turn off notifications for certain apps. For Example, I want the watch to vibrate when an SMS or Email comes through, but turned off for Messenger, kik, and everything else.
Also, by having this feature, Im sure a developer could write up a small app to install onto the phone which would tell the watch which notifications to vibrate for, and which to just display on the screen.
And again, this will save battery life by turning the vibrate motor off for (in my case) 90% of the notifications coming through.
3. Have a slider to control the level of vibration or the burst of vibration.
Why ? This adds a level of customization to the watch.
Also, I see people complaining that the watch doesn't vibrate enough while in my case, its vibration time is too long. By having the ability to shortening the vibrate time, you also save battery life (if not by much).
By having all 3 features embedded into the ROM, On the average user, it should increase battery life by almost double (if not more).

Pretty neat ideas. I have one id like to add lol. I want to be able to turn off motion detection for the screen. I had this feature on my galaxy gear and it gave me an day and half EXTRA battery with it turned off. We could get similar battery life (3-4 days with average use,custom rom too) if this was disabled. I had to always press the button to turn the screen on to check the time, but notifications still lit the screen up when they came in. Totally worth an extra 24-36 hours of battery . However i like the idea of being able to tap the screen to wake the moto360.
So basically I want motion detection disabled but leave tap to wake on.
Can't you turn off notifications for certain apps in the Android Wear app (mute apps)?

Im not talking about turning off notifications all together.
I was talking about turning off the vibration for certain apps, but still having the notifications pushed to the Moto360 display.
Number 2 can already be done you can go to the Android Wear App in Setting Click Block App Notification then Pick Whatever App u want to mute
Oops didn't see the last comment

I like this idea because sometimes it's hard getting the watch to light up with motion, so turning off that feature for when it does work would be fine.
In my case, I have the phone vibration turned off and rely on the watch to deliver notifications.
My one and only important feature request is the ability to create my own canned response list.
Of course, official support for 3rd party keyboards would be nice as well.
Bluetooth LE Peripheral Mode
I'm not sure if they intend to include Bluetooth LE Peripheral Mode in their Lollipop release. Google chose not to include peripheral mode for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, although it is included with the newer Nexus 6 and 9. But for Android Wear, Peripheral Mode would enable a huge number of new and useful apps, that would significantly improve the usefulness of the watch. The simplest one would be a beacon to help you find your watch when you forgot where you left it, but enabling service solicitation would open a whole new world of applications for the watch.
#1 has worked since day one.
I get a notification, my phone remains silent, the watch vibrates. It's in the AW app settings.
according to me, since the watch has a inbuilt mic, a feature can be added that when someone calls, answer from the watch, just speak that you'll call back later & disconnect. this will be helpful if you are driving... no need to pick the phone ...

Instead of swiping to answer the call, You can just swipe upwards to reject call with similar messages sent automatically

Good list, I have one more. Allow the setting of alarms for only certain days. For example, I would like to be able to set an alarm at 7 PM that goes off only on weekdays and not weekends, as I use this to let me know when I can get into the car pool lane when I am driving back home from work. That alarm is useless on the weekend, so no need for it to be turned on every day.

Just select the days you would in alarm setup, do not check saturday and sunday
I am still wondering which watch support Bluetooth peripheral?
As I know LG G watch 5.0.1 do not support it.
if (mBluetoothAdapter.isMultipleAdvertisementSupported()) {
will return false.
on mine the whole notification thing is messed up..
sometimes it will vibrate and pop up when i get a text or email.. but then sometimes it doesnt do anything at all.
hardly ever, does it vibrate when i get a fb IM.. but it pops up and the screen lights up.
maybe they should fix it first before adding anything.

Pretty sure vibration is app dependent. Example, 8sms. You can change the vibration length in the settings. If you set your phone to 1000ms vibration when you get a text your phone AND watch will vibrate for 1000ms(or whatever vibration pattern you set) To further my point I would NEVER feel the vibration of Snapchat updates because it was so short. I'm using xposed(gravity box) to change snapchats vibration length and I feel the notification on my watch and phone every time.
I agree 100% google should have a universal setting to be able to change vibration,notification, and screen light up settings.

Missed call notification not getting syncronized

I have a Huawei Watch connected to a LG G4 and one annoying thing about it is that for some reason the missed call notification is not syncronized with the phone. If I miss a call I get the notification on the watch and on the phone, but if I dismiss the notification from the watch it won't dismiss the one on the phone and the other way around. I think this is because they use different apps... I think the phone uses LG's dialer and the Huawei one so they probably would synchronize if they weren't different. Some times, after boot I notice the missed call notification being different (and in my own language), which mean the watch shows the phones notification. Is there any way to properly synchronize the two or disable the Android Wear standard one?

EVR-AL00 notifications when using smart cover - EMU 9.1.0

Have had this phone since December and love it. Only have one issue - notifications.
Having followed the advice given in previous threads I have not had any problems receiving notifications (Gmail, messaging, WhatsApp). And now I have EMU 9.1. they even show as icons on my 'always on' lock screen (when the phone is out of its case). But I use a smart cover/case and although I still receive a sound notification the phone does not show any lock screen notification icon in the smart case window.
Can't find any relevant setting to address this so maybe its just something that I will have to live with but is this something that other AL00 users experience?

All Apps Notifying On Band, Except Clock

I just upgraded last night from a Band 2, to a Band 4. It's a great upgrade, but 2 things stumped me.
One, as the title states, my watch vibrates, and shows information for numerous apps, and apps I've selected within the Mi Fit app, except for the Clock app.
None of my actual alarms are triggering the watch to notify me of any of my alarms on my phone.
I'm pretty sure I've set all permissions within the app, and of all the apps that it can work with, I would think Clock would be the main one!
I'm also having the same issue with an app called "Alarm Calendar Plus" which creates alarms from calendar events.
I get rich, color notifications of people having questions about Wal-Mart while shopping this their this evening, but can't get it to simply vibrate when it's time to get up.
The on watch alarm app works as intended, but is not ideal for my situations, and in the end , I would just like to find a way to get this seemingly simple task to function correctly.
Thanks for any assistance!

Help with notifications and more...

Hello After all, I have only had my S20 Ultra for a week and I would like to ask you for help with notifications because I can't find these things anywhere, more precisely:
1. Where can I turn on applications such as Massenger, Facebook, Whatsup or even ordinary text messages with their notifications "waking the screen" (the phone is lying down, gets a notification and the screen lights up)? In the Huawei P20 Pro, which I had for 2 years, there was no need to set anything and it was at the factory system.
2. How to set that notifications appear in the middle of the screen in the form of a frame with text, and not so that now only the icon in the status bar at the top appears?
3. How and is it worth removing Bixby? For example, will removal result in extended battery life?
4. Is it possible to change the screen somehow after moving to the right - we have tabs there, including "Upday" with news, you can set Spotify, Netflix, Tiktok, or some Instant Games .. that's all? Can you set news from the world and country from Google, for example, as in other Android phones?
5. Do you know any less obvious tips on how to extend the battery life? Delete something from the system etc?
THANKS AND I COUNT ON YOUR HELP
