Is there a way to create a notification that will only appear on the android wear device (and not in the mobile device)?
Please take a look at answer in your other question.
Different text for the wear device and the mobile device
Basically just ignore step to make a notification on your phone (with setLocalOnly()) and you will achieve exactly the result your are looking for (only notification on Wear device).

I want to create an android enterprise app that manages which apps to show to an owner device.
I tried the BasicManagedProfile sample but I got "This device doesn't support work profiles" on my device.
Is it possible to do something else to get the same behavior?
Maybe I can get the same with a launcher that gets locked and show the apps that I want, is that possible without work profiles? Any other suggestions will be appreciated!
I'm building a phone app with direct connection to a wear app running on several wear devices. The wear app will run on several wear devices at the same time and will share data to a single phone app.
I'm following the Android guidelines for co-packaging the wear and phone apps in a single package.
My question: can the wear app be auto-installed on multiple wear devices? If so, can you recommend how? Thanks.
Yes, it's the same as on a single device, basically. The Android Wear app on the user's phone will push your wearable app to all connected devices.
I have my primary phone linked to two or three Wear devices as a matter of course, and apps get pushed to all of them. It's really no different.
Now I'm using notificationID to update already visible notification with new one. I would really like to see practical example on how to use this two methods and how notification grouping looks like.
I'm using galaxy S3 with 4.3 and I think it should support this kind of rendering.
These only affect the presentation of your notifications on an Android Wear device. If you set a group summary, and there's a paired Android Wear device available, only the group summary should be seen on the phone/tablet, and only the other ones in the group will appear on the Wear device (as "stacked notifications").
This sample application demonstrates the use of setGroup() and setGroupSummary(), though it will only really be useful if you are experimenting with Android Wear.
UPDATE: These also affect mobile devices running Android 7.1+, as well as Wear devices.
I'm planning to create myself a proof of concept Android Wear application, but I'm not planning to buy myself an Android smartwatch yet. I will buy it if I get positive reactions from my target audience once I show some of them the proof of concept app from my personal smartphone (Android Kitkat).
is it possible to run/debug an Android Wear application on my smartphone? Suggestions for third party software is welcome as well.
For a demo/proof of concept I'd say yes it's possible, in certain conditions/restrictions:
It should be a standalone/fullscreen app (it will be hard to emulate the notifications/cards behaviour)
Define a 320x320px layout for your content (or 280x280, and eventually add a round mask it you need a round watch)
Code like it's Android!
Note that behind the scene communication between the phone and the app will be different when you do it on a real Wear, but for a demo your audience will not see the difference.
You can check this app in which I use a similar layout for the watch, the handheld app and the widgets.
I am developing an app on sony smartwatch, and I started off with the SampleNotificationExtension example. I would like to change the font size of my notification. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you so much!
Unfortunately, there is no way to change the font of notifications. You only supply the information that is to be notified (into the Smart Connect notification database) and then it is up to each individual Sony Mobile smart accessory to render the notification on the device.
