About

When I first got an Android device, I loved all the ways you could customize the home screen, but I really wanted it to show what media was currently playing. In brainstorming ways to do this, I remembered that playing media is sent as a notification, just like any other. Then, I discovered the Android NotificationListenerService, which allows apps to respond to incoming notifications. Using this service, I developed an app that displays a widget on your home screen with the current playing song or other media. The widget also has buttons to pause, skip, or rewind, which activate their respective options from the notification.
