Can we send notifications to TV via Chromecast?


I'm working on an android application that supports push notification through GCM. I want to know is it possible to send the push notification message that has been receieved on your smartphone or table and display it on your TV via Chromecast?


Solution

  • Basically...no.

    Chromecast allows you to put a web page on your TV and then allows your device to communicate with that web page. That's it.

    You could open a Chromecast app when you receive a push notification...or notify a Chromecast receiver app that's already running, but there's no way to influence what comes up on the screen when you're not running an app.
