Live Notifications Demo

Small Android app that demos Android 16 Live Updates — delivery tracking with Notification.ProgressStyle. Segments, ETA, and action buttons update in real time from a foreground service.

What it does

• Simulates a food delivery: Confirmed → Preparing → En Route → Delivered
• Shows a progress-style notification with colored segments and phase-specific actions
• Compose UI to start/stop the demo; handles notification permission on Android 13+
• Falls back gracefully on devices below Android 16

Requirements

• Android Studio Panda / Quail (2025.3+)
• JDK 17
• Gradle 9.4+ / AGP 9.2+
• Android 16 (API 36) device or emulator for full Live Updates UI
• Min SDK 28, target SDK 36

Run it

git clone https://github.com/iVamsi/Live-Notifications-Demo.git
cd Live-Notifications-Demo

Open in Android Studio, sync Gradle, run on an Android 16 emulator or device. Tap Start Demo Delivery, allow notifications, pull down the shade to watch updates.

From the command line:

./gradlew assembleDebug
./gradlew test
