NotificationPeekPort

Port Paranoid Android's Notification Peek feature to an apk and make it compatible with any Kit-Kat ROM.

You can grab the lastest build apk in the releases tab.

What it does

Notification Peek (Paranoid Android) is a nice feature for displaying notifications in your lock screen. It uses gyroscope and proximity sensors to detect the status of the device and display the notifications in a minimalistic UI in the right time.

What I did

  • Removed several system APIs, replaced with public APIs.
  • Attempted to make it work with only proximity sensor.
  • UI tweaks, changed LinearLayout to GridLayout for displaying large numbers of unread notifications.
  • Added notification peek timeout option.

How to uninstall

Because the Device Administrator disables apps that is activated from being uninstalled, you need to do the following if you want to uninstall the app:

  • Go to your System Settings.
  • Select Security.
  • Select Device administrators.
  • Uncheck NotificationPeek.
  • Now you can uninstall the app.

What is missing

  • Icon.
  • Name.
  • A lot of great features.

Known issue

  • If the Peek view is shown, it won't update new incoming notifications.
