About this app

Monitor your phone's battery level directly from your smart device!

Battery Notification is a lightweight utility designed to bridge your phone’s battery status to any connected device that mirrors notifications. While your phone displays its battery level locally, this app allows you to keep an eye on your charging progress from your wrist or PC without having to reach for your phone.
Why use Battery Notification? Perfect for when your phone is charging in another room, this app converts your battery percentage into a standard notification. This allows devices like Garmin watches, Fitbit trackers, Wear OS devices, and even Windows PCs (via Phone Link) to show you exactly how much charge you have left in real-time.
Key Features:
• Simple Toggle: Turn the notification service on or off with a single tap.
• Home Screen Widget: Includes a minimalist widget that looks like a custom icon for quick, one-tap control from your home screen.
• Built-in Guide: Tap the app name inside the app for an "About" message, or long-press the name to see the "How to Use" instructions.
• Lightweight & Efficient: Designed to use minimal resources and only update when your battery level actually changes.
How it Works:
1. Open the app and toggle the notification service to ON.
2. Grant the required permissions for notifications and background processing.
3. Your battery level will appear as a notification on your phone, which will then be mirrored to your connected smartwatch or device.
Transparency & Permissions: To ensure the battery level stays updated while your screen is off or while the app is in the background, this app requires:
• Foreground Service: To keep the monitor active so it can update your notification.
• Post Notifications: To display the battery level to you and your wearable.
• Ignore Battery Optimization: This optional but recommended setting ensures Android doesn’t "hibernate" the app while your phone is charging, keeping your watch data accurate.
Note: This app does not require a companion app on your watch. It uses the standard notification mirroring already built into your device’s ecosystem.
