Notifications for Android TV

by BadBreath911

So I'm using the app Notifications for Android TV to send notifications to my screen. So I can see who is calling me on my phone the moment it rings.

Unfortunately, leaving every notification up on this would be insane, with all the apps we have on our phones. So instead of black listing apps, I've turned all notifications off, unless they are white listed. Like I don't need a notification for Pixel Ambient song ID, or for my Automatic telling me where I am parked.

So far I've white listed the following apps:

  • Discord
  • Gmail
  • IFTTT
  • Messages
  • Messenger (Facebook)
  • PS Messages (Playstation)
  • Paypal
  • Phone
  • Twitter
  • Venmo

Are there any other apps do you guys use, which you think I should consider?

Not really, that one is the best way I found to mirror my notifications to the TV screen, when I actually wanted that. It eventually got annoying and disruptive so I got over it...

I use Notification for Android TV for weather alerts and breaking news from various apps. In addition, my Ring doorbell notifications also go the TV. I tend to keep the personal data off the TV, though.

Is there a primer on how TV notifications work?
