Yes, though they are more limited in Android: they are just buttons that can jump to the app (= launch a specific intent). On the contrary, the new iOS notifications can have a real interaction; e.g.: you can answer to a message within the notification itself and never switch context.
- untog 12y agoYes and no - Android also allows apps to draw standalone windows on top of the OS, like this one does: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everything... So it isn't quite the same, but nor does it require switching apps.
- giovannibajo1 12y agoAFAICT, that's because it's a SMS application, so it's got a special hook being called when a SMS arrives. For normal notifications (delivered through GCM), that's not possible.
