Smart Notch: Notification Bar

You glance at your phone. A message arrives, music is still playing, and your battery drops to 20% — but you never left the app you were using. That’s what your notch is for.

Smart Notch keeps your notification bar alive across reboots, screen-off states, and battery optimization cycles. Music controls, charging alerts, Bluetooth events, and notch notifications return automatically once accessibility service is active again — no manual setup every time.

YOUR NOTCH AS A LIVE STATUS SURFACE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most phones have a camera notch or punch-hole sitting unused at the top of the screen. Smart Notch transforms that space into a persistent live overlay — your own mini status bar that works across apps.

Notifications appear there instantly. In games or fullscreen video, the overlay hides automatically. Switch apps and the notch color adapts using per-app color rules for a more integrated look.

Nothing interrupts your screen. Everything stays accessible.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIX NOTIFICATION CATEGORIES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Different alerts deserve different layouts. Smart Notch intelligently renders notifications using dedicated notch interfaces:

• Messages — sender + preview in compact thread form
• Email — subject line visible without unlocking
• Events — calendar title with countdown timer
• Promotions — compact brand alerts that auto-collapse
• Social — platform icon + engagement summary
• Navigation — turn-by-turn directions surfaced inside the notch

Six categories. Six layouts. One smart overlay.

MUSIC, BATTERY, AND LIVE STATUS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

When music plays, the notch becomes a compact media controller with play/pause, skip controls, album art, waveform animation, and live playback indicators. Works with Spotify, YouTube Music, podcasts, and apps using Android media sessions.

Plug in your charger and the notch displays charging animations, battery percentage, and color-based charge indicators — no widgets or lock-screen detours required.

You can also show Bluetooth and headset connection events directly inside the notch the moment devices connect or disconnect.

PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Accessibility Service: used to display the notch overlay above apps, detect foreground apps for fullscreen/game hiding and per-app colors, and perform Quick Control actions like screenshot or screen lock. No app content is read, stored, or shared.

Notification Listener: reads notification metadata such as app icon, package name, category, and timestamp to render alerts inside the notch. Notification content is never transmitted.

SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: required to display the notch overlay above other apps.
