Notification Helper

Thanks for making this app! I used this to get custom notifications for important ones (like my GP

Was great but last few months I am getting my notifications with huge delays.

Tired of your phone blowing up every time someone pings some portal you couldn't care less about? This app allows you to only be notified of attacks on specific portals, by specific players, or even by portals matching certain search criteria.

For the last 6 weeks or so, the app seems to lose the notification hook to Ingress. Not always, but at least once a day. Everything is running, but the app is unaware of alerts being generated.

Like some other commenters, after updating my OS the app started losing access to notifications at start up. The workaround is possible (enabling at start up) but a bit annoying.

Now I'll see stacked notifications from ingress, which then get detected by the helper a delayed while later. This happened less frequently when my phone was on 5.1, but now it's 6.0 this happened everyday. Pretty annoying coz it's like I'm getting double notifications. Could the team look into this?

Works really well

Wonderful to filter notifications from Ingress. Suggestions for improvement: List of favourite portals, Integration with IITC to be able to mark portals as favourites. And most importantly: customisable unlimited (or at least 4-5 smtg.) number of categories to which we can set different notification sounds. And even timer function, so that we can choose what time these notifications should be on. Issues: Ingress restarts when pressed on notification, even if it is already running in the background. Custom portals don't appear in the Custom tab when added from import. See my email for further details if you want Keep up the good work!

When I set it to hide Ingress notifications it also hides the hack results so I can't see acquired items nor cool down remaining. Worst is when there is an error (out of range, burned out, scanner communication error). I don't understand why is this behavior, android notifications are different from hack result popup. I set it not to hide them so now I get two notifications for everything. Edit: yes, the hack pop up disappeared when that check box was ticked, Weird. I'll retry, maybe it is a bug on scanner

For 3 years I'd had notifications off entirely because of the lack of granularity/filtering. This tool does everything I could have dreamed of - for free!

When tapping on attack notifications, ingress with sometimes fail to launch properly. Which results in lost portals. It's just not worth it.

Everytime I open a notification on my Samsung galaxy note 3, the Ingress app stops to work. Useless.

Would be nice if there was an option to display more details and/or expand notifications with addresses and such. Edit: I see the address in the list but I meant in the notification itself, thanks for the reply :)

Was very useful, but currently on 5.1.1 service very often dies and doesn't work properly

This app is amazing I can track the portals I care about without all the spam!

Wont stay activated anymore.

This is a great app, lets me know when the portals I care about are in danger.

Takes a bit to setup, a week or so to set favorites, after that it is awesome.

This app is awesome, but I wish I could export notifications to a CSV, I wish it would include notifications of destroyed assets, and I wish it would include notifications of neutralized portals. It is sad that it doesn't work on my KitKat phone. Even lacking those options, though, this app gives me the help in tracking information when I have been asleep or busy, as the Ingress app itself only lets me scroll back a short way. I am so grateful that I am going to seek ways to contribute (bug hunt & donation)

Great way to setup notifications for only certain portals you care to be notified on.

Tap on messages/alerts should open ingress. Needs individual sounds for individual events not just one sound for favorites.

This app really needs to be able to report regardless of whether ingress is Oren or not. Need to be able to sort the messages when ingress is open. Also need more instructions on how to use.

When I asked for assistance because the app did not work for me from day 1, I was told to wait. After four days I told them that it still does not work for me, and I have not received a response for two months.....

Kill them with fire! Any app that uses heads up notifications with no way of disabling them is an automatic 1 star from me, heads up are the worst feature android has ever implemented and should be ignored and allowed to die, not used

Nothing happens

The cure for Ingress notification overload. I should remove one star for the "Join the Resistance" propaganda in the screenshots, but it's so useful I'll overlook that.

I would use it more if it has location settings, like only notify me if it's within 1k of me.

Very cool aggregator, works on C12 like a charm :D

I swear I miss everything, so this is great! Could there ever be an "ignore portal" tab someday? I'd love to keep a few certain portals on perma-mute LOL

Ok giving this App a good review. Not a 5 star, but definitely helps clear up comms, lol. So good points... great UI. Very easy to maneuver around clicking (tapping) on buttons was easy and buttons well spaced. Informative, and easy to read. Ok now the bad... doesn't always report the comms. Which isn't totally bad, but could do with a better reporting system. It does report messages from players. It only reports attacks on your portals not portals with your resinators (which can be good). All round... It's a fair App and gets 3 stars. For 5 stars it could use some upgrades, like more info on the information being posted. A link that would bring up the portal, or message in ingress would be cool.

Installed and granted access as requested; But never worked on my Nexus 6. Waited for alerts, got them on the Ingress app. Tried it after reboot too.

Let it bake after selecting and activation of notification handler. It will start working perfectly. Need option to sync data across devices. Updates are perfect.

Took a bit to get enabled.... But now its working as described. Select Read More for a basic guide.

Just be aware that 'favourite' applies to both portal and player your alert for favourite portals will play if you star a player and they do something.

I get notified instantly no matter what I am doing usually before the game even updates thank you for making this happen :-)

Splňuje svoji funkci a až nyní máte přehled o tom co se děje v COMMu.

There's usually only a handful of portals that I really care to be notified about if they're under attack and this application has really helped me filter out the extra noise from Ingress. With the recent addition of "Custom" portals, adding new portals to my watch list is much easier, I just wish there were a better way of getting the address to a portal prior to it coming under attack. Being able to specify different tones for standard/favorite/messages/custom is also awesome. I have pretty much turned off notifications for Standard message, set the standard tone for Favorite, a custom message sound for Messages, and I'm toying around with using Custom as a High Alert notification, you know...the super important portals.
