How to show notification on Android Wear device only

Question

Is there a way to show a notification using NotificationManagerCompat on a wearable only and not in the normal notification area on the phone?

Answer 1

Instead of creating a notification on the phone, send a message from the phone to the wearable using the Messaging API. Then when you receive that message on the wearable, use the same notification API in your wearable app code (instead of in the phone app) - this will raise a notification on the wearable.
