Are you referring to the standard notifications that are displayed in the notifications screen?

You cannot intercept those notifications.

Hi Erel,

I was looking for the same thing but I have find nothing.
BUT I have an app from the Play Store (MacroDroid) that is able to intercept any notification and say with TTS the contents ... How can they do this ?

Is this app a "regular" app? Or it required you to enable it as an accessibility app?

Erel, yes! You are right ! it's an accessibility app.
Also PushBullet can install itself as accessibility app and send all the received notification (from any app running on the terminal) to another device (i.e. an app running inside Chrome on a PC)

Can we build an app like MacroDroid or PushBullet that install a service *under* Accessibility interface ?

Thanks, Erel !!

This App can Intercept all Notifications and shows them in an Metro-Styled layout. You can specify from which app the notifications are handled...

So i think there must be an possibility to intercept them.

I found this and this. Maybe it helps!?

Currently there is no library available that allows you to write "accessibility apps".

I guess you are referring to this new library: NotificationListener library (NotificationListenerService)

It is not an accessibility app. However this is the recommended way (as advised by Google) to work with the notifications.

Click to expand...

Thats right BUT it is exactly what the TO is searching; a possibility to intercept notifications.
