Pebble Custom Phone Call Notification

Is it possible to override the default incoming call screen with a custom screen on the pebble watch?

Im guessing I could capture the interruption as described here - http://developer.getpebble.com/guides/pebble-apps/app-events/app-interruptions

Is this sort of customisation possible?

Solution

  • The screen that shows an incoming call is a modal window shown by the system and cannot be overridden from a Pebble app running on Pebble.

    There are however two things you can do on the phone:

    1. From a mobile app on the phone, you can push a notification that will appear on top of the "phone" system UI.
    2. (Android only) You can suggest to the user that (s)he disables the "Call Notification" in the Pebble app and then you will have control of the screen during calls (as suggested by @Chris in the comments. thanks)
