Android Wear Notification Not Showing

Hi I'm writing an Android Wear app that allows the user to control a music player from their watch. I'm trying to do it with a notification with two action buttons. Below is the co

Solution 1:

To make the solution more visible to users who may be affected with the same issue - i'm posting this as an answer.

REASON:

The reason was simple: app was muted (probably accidentally) on Android Wear device and this was preventing any notifications from appearing on watch.

While posting any ongoing notification from watch, there will be extra action added automatically. It is called "Mute app" and probably it was pressed in some point in time during development by accident.

Muted apps can be managed in the Android Wear companion app on Settings screen. This can be fairly hard to debug because any code is invoked without any error and there is also no logs in the LogCat about the fact that app is muted.

I hope that it will be helpful for other users that will search for the similar issue in the future:)

Solution 2:

I had the same issue, and sent couple of hours trying to solve it. In my case, I had the debug permanent notification (covering half the screen), and when my notification arrived to the watch, I couldn't see it. Only by swiping up all the notifications, I finally was able to see it, it was simply berried there.
