How to Get Notifications From Your Android Phone on Your PC or Mac

by Terrence O'Brien on September 10, 2010 at 08:30 AM

Android Notification
Rather than switching back and forth between our cell phones and our PCs, we wish text messages, missed-call notifications and low-battery alerts were delivered straight to our desktops. Android owners have a solution in Android Notifier and its partner app, Android Notifier Desktop. Setting up the apps does take a little work, but nothing that deserves a tech support call. Android Notifier will send the alerts that you choose to your desktop, over either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Mac users will need to install MacDroidNotifier, which feeds the alerts through the top-notch service Growl, while Linux and Windows users need Android Notifier Desktop to get their mobile alerts on the big screen.
