Display push notification Actions[], clicking them can then trigger the PendingIntent on phone

[danoliver1]

It would be extremely useful if MFA notifications could be actioned on the watch. A lot of companies now enforce multi-factor. Personally I get many MFA notifications throughout the day and would find it useful to not have to get my phone out to click "Yes, it's me" every time I log in.
This project is impressive, thank you for providing it as open-source!

That would be very useful but I don't think google allows apps to do that and also I think it wouldn't be very safe to have it in the watch

I was hoping it would be possible to show the "Yes, that's me" or "Nope, not me" buttons on the watch under the notification (similar to the reply buttons) and then proxy the push notification actions back to the phone (and the phone triggers the intent for that action). It's worth a look, maybe it is possible because there are other smart watches that can action MFA notifications.

The AmazMod android phone app listens for notifications using NotificationListenerService and then forwards them to the watch app.
The Notification class returned by the NotificationListenerService has an array Actions[] which contains an icon, title and intent for each notification action.
It would be a game-changing feature if the AmazMod watch app could show the Action titles and then when you click them, the phone app triggers the PendingIntent.
I'm going to install all of the tooling and try to see if it's possible when I get the chance.

I've tried with google mfa in Q and nougat and the notification doesn't have any action, it just opens an activity when you unlock the phone, I don't know if it's the same with other phones, but with these it's not possible

That's a shame but I guess it's that way for security reasons. It should be possible to show the actions on the watch for other notifications though? Google MFA was just one example where it would be useful. I get quite a few other actionable notifications from different apps.
