Android tv custom notifications

I have found this - GitHub - rogro82/PiPup: Enhanced notifications for Android TV

But no apk and the link to the playstore appears to no longer work

Is Line 90 the only place you made change of ports? I didn't see it anywhere else.

I will check that later today. When I created this post, the app was available in the play store...

I tried the larger driver file with 243 lines that includes ability to enter PORT on Device Page and get same error. I was able to get the Home Assistant integration to work using NOTIFICATIONS FOR ANDROID TV on Shield.

As indicated on the github of the app. The app is still in Beta.

I didn't remember that, it's been a while since I installed the application...

I have done some more digging and found a fork of that app as that one is no longer in use,

The app is here: Releases ยท desertblade/PiPup ยท GitHub

The guide I found is: A short guide for setting up TV PiP notifications (with PiPup) - Community Guides - Home Assistant Community

To install this I did the following...

  1. Download apk and transfer to my shield
  2. Run adb as instructed in the guide, i only needed to run the one command "adb shell appops set nl.rogro82.pipup SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow"

It look that it exist another app ($$) with some nice features that can be another alternative..

Interesting, I never actually looked that far down as was too determined to get this working tonight.

For now I'm happy with this but Ring images would be a benefit. I was previously using another driver that sent notifications to Kodi on my shield. Now using PipUp instead I can send notifications to overlay on any app so that's a big improvement already over what I had a couple of hours ago.

Cheers for your help in steering me the right way on this

Sorry to dig up this discussion. But now that I have a camera phone. I'd like to try including an image to the notifications when it rings. Would it be possible to enhance the code to include image support?
