NTFY app

A notifications manager on Android.

Try it

Install the apk in the dist/ directory.

Note: the app only starts its background service when the app is initially opened so on phone reboot, you'll have to reopen the app before it will work.

Prototype outline

V0.5

Display a list of apps that the user has and provide a quick way to disable/enable their notifications.

(Alternatively, allow user to add an app to the manager. All added app will be muted until it’s removed.)

V1

Allow the user to create basic categories/contexts (location, time, etc) for when to mute which notifications.

V2 (for later)

Provide more detailed control over notifications, such as different cues (visual, sounds, vibrations, etc), priority (levels?), other contexts around them that we didn't explore yet (location, time, etc).

Technical Notes

API 21 (L) is convenient so we support 21+. API 18 may be possible, however, with some code branching on versions (e.g. NotificationListenerService.cancelNotification).
