如何从Windows应用发送通知消息给Android应用

手机应用可以作为桌面应用的辅助工具，用来接收桌面应用的状态信息。这里介绍如何实现一个简单的Android程序用于接收Windows扫描仪应用的工作状态。

参考：How to Push Notifications to Android Applications from Windows

思路

1. 创建socket连接用于应用通信
   

2. Android上启动后台服务，用于接收信息

3. 在收到信息之后，后台服务会把推送消息发送给Android应用
   

Socket信息发送

使用TCPListener来创建socket连接，相关内容可以参考：Wireless TWAIN Document Scanning on Android

启动停止Android Service

创建服务NotificationService：

public class NotificationService extends Service {
 
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
    }
 
    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
    }
 
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return mBinder;
    }
 
    private final IBinder mBinder = new Binder() {
        @Override
        protected boolean onTransact(int code, Parcel data, Parcel reply,
                int flags) throws RemoteException {
            return super.onTransact(code, data, reply, flags);
        }
    };
}

在AndroidManifest.xml中申明一下这个service：

<
service android:name = "com.dynamsoft.twain.NotificationService" 
/>

在onCreate(Bundle)中启动服务：

startService(new Intent(ScanAssist.this, NotificationService.class));

在onDestroy()中停止服务：

stopService(new Intent(ScanAssist.this, NotificationService.class));

推送Android通知

调用NotificationManager：

private NotificationManager mNM = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

创建用于内容显示的Activity IncomingMessageView：

public class IncomingMessageView extends Activity {
 
    public static final String KEY_FROM = "from";
    public static final String KEY_MESSAGE = "message";
    public static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = R.layout.activity_main;
 
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        TextView view = new TextView(this);
        view.setText(getIntent().getCharSequenceExtra(KEY_FROM) + ": " + getIntent().getCharSequenceExtra(KEY_MESSAGE));
 
        setContentView(view);
 
        NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        nm.cancel(NOTIFICATION_ID);
    }
}

在AndroidManifest.xml中申明Activity：

<activity
            android:name="com.dynamsoft.twain.IncomingMessageView"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
</activity>

发送消息，并显示在状态栏上：

Intent notifyIntent = new Intent(this, IncomingMessageView.class);
notifyIntent.putExtra(IncomingMessageView.KEY_FROM, from);
notifyIntent.putExtra(IncomingMessageView.KEY_MESSAGE, message);
 
PendingIntent pendingIntent =
        PendingIntent.getActivity(
        this,
        0,
        notifyIntent,
        PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT
);
 
Notification notif = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle("TWAIN Scanner Status ")
.setContentText(message)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setTicker(message)
.build();
 
notif.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL;
 
mNM.notify(IncomingMessageView.NOTIFICATION_ID, notif);

用例

1. 运行Android应用，启动服务
   

2. 应用切换到后台，操作其它应用，比如打开浏览器

3. 在Windows上操作应用，点击文件扫描

4. 扫描成功之后，信息发送到手机
