I'm going to have a play with 'Notifications for Android TV' this afternoon. I would say satisfactory for anyone who lacks coding skills (compiling curl commands and writing scripts etc). In summary, PushTV is easy to setup but a little laggy. So no sound sourced from the TV when using apple TV or PS4 etc.
We only get sound from the TV if we use the audio return channel (ARC) on the receiver. But I haven't really looked at this as we use an AV receiver. But the app is in beta and these options may be added in the future.ĥ) the notification sound is intermittant. And it is cloud based so you need an Internet connection.Ĥ) at this stage there are no settings for duration, position or transperancy of the popup notification.

Very easy.ġ) the trial PushTV app is limited to receiving 15 messages.Ģ) the app functions as 'desktop client' which PushOver requires a license for (USD 4.99), but you get a week free.ģ) there can be a considerable delay, up to 15 seconds, from sending the message to it appearing on the screen. You can then use the HS PushOver plugin to send notifications to your TV. Pushover detects to new client and adds it as a recipent.

Simply install PushTV on your android tv, sign in to your PushOver account in the TV app. So.I have played with PushTV and it works pretty well. Hopefully this will help someone, just now looking if I can get a triggered cam overlay fudged, as my current method is a pi switching the input to its own hdmi port for 30 seconds, then back It's basically doing a post with multipart form data, and you can play around with the values: Hs.launch("cmd", "/c C:\scripts\curl -v -F type=0 -F title=Notification -F msg=" & chr(34) & strmsg &chr(34)&" -F duration="&poptime&" -F fontsize=0 -F position=0 -F width=0 -F bkgcolor=" & chr(34) & "#607d8b" & chr(34) & " -F transparency=1 -F offset=0 -F offsety=0 -F app=" & chr(34) & "Notifications for fire tv" & chr(34) & " -F force=true -F & chr(34) & "C:/Scripts/icon.png\"& chr(34)&" filename="&chr(34)&"icon.png"&chr(34)&" ","","0")Įnd SubIn summary of the above - it's got quotes up the wazoo (chr(34)) to ensure the curl command doesn't choke - especially take care of the filename upload part, running curl under cmd process was a pain to get right.

So, once you have the app installed and curl running, just write some code to send the data needed, changing the last part to the IP of your fire device: I did try and failed miserably to get vb and powershell to do the multipart form data, hence why Curl is a requirement - but have at it if you want to write something proper, you can see what parameters are needed by just decoding the curl constructed command. Now, it's very dumb, and it will do nothing unless you do a multipart post to it with all the parameters.
So, the app works as a basic web listener on the fire device - it's listening on port 7676.
While in the settings of the fire device, get your IP for later reference. So, anyone who is interested will need to install the app "notifications for fire tv" on their stick, and run the app, setting it up to allow notifications Notifications for fire tv app - installed on the fire stick from the amazon app storeĪ small png file (2kb roughly, not too big) You'll get a nice little popup box with text, a small image, and most importantly, it'll pop over anything you are currently running like netflix, etc - best I had before was notices in kodi. Just thought I'd hopefully give anyone who uses fire tv stuff something to help with a notification overlay, as there really is not a lot out there for automation.
