Show ongoing notifications in Android Wear

Question

I've been playing around with Android Wear and making some dummy apps. What I've noticed is that Android Wear doesn't seem to show the notifications that are ongoing,i.e., notifications with setOngoing(true). Any way to show these notifications on Wear???

Answer 1

barkside's answer is correct. I recently wrote an article describing the steps in details, but basically:

1. Create a wearable app with a service implementing WearableListenerService.
2. Send a data item from the handheld app using the Data API.
3. In the wearable app's service, handle receiving the data item & build an ongoing notification upon receipt.

A sample app is available here: https://github.com/doubleencore/WearOngoingNotificationSample
