NotifyWho

Custom Notifications Tones & Vibration Patterns for WhatsApp.

Functionality

Lets users select contacts and assign to them indivudally different ringtones and vibration patterns. Also allows for the creation of new vibration patterns with a vibration generator activity.

How it works

By using Android's NotificationListenerService, NotifyWho intercepts WhatsApp notifcations, checks incoming text message sender names against a list of custom contacts, and then vibrates / plays the sound given to that contact.

Implemenation

The app is divided into three main activities:

  • PermissionsActivity : The 'Welcome' activity with a series of Fragments that explain how NotifyWho works and ask the user for permissions
  • MainActivity : A three fragment view consisting of "Contacts", "Default", and "Help" sections.
    • "Contacts" : The fragment in which currently defined contacts with specific ringtone / vibration patterns are displayed and can be edited
    • "Default" : The fragment in which the default notification sounds / vibrations can be set
    • "Help" : The fragment where users can read a help section, rate the app, and ask for developer help
  • VibrationPickerActivity : An activity that mimics Android's Ringtone Picker activity, the difference being that users select from a list of pre-defined and custom vibrations. Users can add custom vibrations by clicking a plus button. By tapping on the screen rythmically, new vibrations are generated and saved permanently.
