Utilize new notification API in Android 4.3

Android 4.3's new Notification APIs allows any app to register with the notification server for management. If this is utilized by the MightyText host app on Android phones, it could register for notification management and dismiss SMS notifications when they are read remotely.

This, of course, means no more annoying blinking LEDs and backlogged notifications when you've been away and using MightyText. Moreover, it should be a simply addition since it is a fully supported API.

I'll just leave this here:

        Maybe if we hit 2000 votes? Honestly at this point it seems like pushbullet will implement texting and grab a lot of mightytext users before this gets fixed.

        If this will ever be implemented (and it should, MightyText). Please don't forget to add support for third party sms-apps (like Textra).
        Also, I honestly don't know why this still isn't a feature? It's the single thing this app is missing! We don't want to share pictures with MightyText, we have enough services for that already! We want a good way to send and receive sms messages on a pc (and tablet). Period. Dismissing the notifications on the device would make MightyText perfect.

        Don't get me wrong, I think you're doing a great job, but you guys need to get your priorities straight. Texting is what this app is for and I think that should deserve the most of your attention.

        The Motorola Connect application cleared the phone's notifications when read on the computer so it 100% can be done, I only switched to MightyText a few days ago because I was having trouble logging into the Motorola Connect - overall features are better with MightyText however the lack of clearing notifications is a definite downgrade...

        This would make the app a lot better. I still have to go to my phone and dismiss texts if I want it to stop blinking, or have to mark them as read so they don't show up as unread in my sms app...

        I'm running Pushbullet along side MT just so I can dismiss the notification from the Pushbullet popup and read/reply from the MT popup lol. I wouldn't think this should be hard to implement into MT and needs to be done stat. It's literally the only feature I wish MT had.

        This needs to happen. It's been talked about for years and it's a no-brainer, obvious feature. Why has this not happened yet?

        I need "Missed It!" to be my notification listener. Can there be multiple notification listeners?

        I agree with everything, was looking for a way to do this. I have just started using mighty text but now find it invaluable, when I am at work and cannot have my phone, but then clearing out each individual thread is annoying. +1 for this idea

        @jon close, but Mightytext's biggest shortcoming is the neglect of their own user feedback...

      • jonjon commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Non-clearing of notifications on the phone when read elsewhere seems to me to be Mightytext's biggest shortcoming.

        Yeah, buddy. I was just going to suggest the feature, and this guy's already got the homework done! Nice work!
