Description

Remote Notifier (also known as Android-Notifier) is an Android freeware that sends notifications to a desktop computer when certain events happen on an Android device, such as the phone ringing, an SMS being received, or the battery running low.

This app works in conjunction with a PC/Mac counterpart to display notifications. The notifications can be sent over Wifi, Bluetooth, or (will be implemented in the future) USB.

Remote Notifier runs as a service on Android, consuming little resources while no events are happening. The desktop application notifies the user about the event in some way (Growl on Mac, Gnome dbus notifications on Linux, Growl for Windows or System tray alert on Windows), including information such as the number that's calling.

Please, visit the project's site http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier to read setup instructions and get the desktop application. There are currently two different desktop applications - one called MacDroidNotifier for MacOS X, and another called android-notifier-desktop/MultiDroidNotifier which works on all operating systems. The former is in the process of being deprecated, so please download the later.

Remote Notifier may be useful for people who wear noise-cancelling headphones, keep their cell phone in their bags, or don't want to be interrupted to look at a vibrating cell phone in a meeting.
