Assume a user has installed two apps, A and B. I want to be able to send a message to app A on the users phone when an action happens on app B.
Can this be done on Android and/or iOS? Are there any built in frameworks on the platforms that allow for this?

I'm starting to research about Android Auto, I want to do my thesis on this.
I want to know if it is possible to obtain from the Android Auto certain information that is important for the thesis project, such as:
bluetooth connections,
phone connections (identifiers, contacts, call logs, SMS),
mass storage devices,
and navigation infomation.
It is a project whose objective is to help researchers obtain important information in court cases.
I will be very grateful any information you can provide to me.
Android Auto is really just another app, but enables a projected experience of the Android system to an Auto supported vehicle dashboard. Architecturally, what 3rd parties are allowed to build on is just a shell/template. The real activities etc are in the Android Auto process, and connected to the car.
When a 3rd party app is being shown, Android Auto just shuttles methods (onCreate, onResume, etc) back and forth between the processes. The information you’re asking about when used while Auto is connected would still be found through the mobile device and not independently within the Android Auto app itself.
I'm currently working on an application that would communicate with a hardware device which will notify user when receiving any incoming push notifications from any apps, such as Facebook, Twitter, Messages. I have done the Android version already, However, I'm not sure if it is possible in iOS.
Ok, I found out that there's a way to work on this. Apple actually provides a service called Apple Notification Center Service (ANCS) to communicate with BLE devices for all notification data. This is probably used by device like Pebble smart watch as well.
For what I know, it is not possible. iOS apps are sandboxing.
I'm wondering if it's possible for a Phonegap-based app on one android device to communicate with another Phonegap-based app on another device via Bluetooth?
If it's possible to do this kind of thing with some native Java code for Android, then it should be possible via Phonegap by wrapping that code up as a Phonegap plugin, right...?
From the Android documentation on Bluetooth, I understand one device needs to act as a server and listen for incoming connections and the other "client" needs to initiate by connecting to the server. This would work in the scenario I'm envisaging with two slightly different apps, a "master" app running on a tablet which controls a "slave" app running on a phone, for example.
This BluetoothSerial plugin seems like it might be useful, as it provides functionality for both listening and for initiating a connection. Has anyone use this plugin for communication between android devices?
Check the following two links hope it will answer your question:

I would like to develop an app for android and windows phone that calling button causes the application to run when the user press the dial/call button in his smartphone.
Is it possible with windows phone? if yes, how?
What is the function in Android that I can use with to push my app when the user press the call button.
If someone know application that work that way, I would be very happy for some links for that kind of mobile apps you know.
I cannot speak on behalf of Android phones, but in Windows Phone, this is not possible as the OS/SDK does not allow a third party app to intercept any calls made from the phone, hence not possible in Windows Phone
Is there a way to interact with applications installed on my Android emulator. For instance I want to start WhatsApp and send messages to selected contacts, all from outside the emulator. What should I look for? Can monkeyrunner help with this case?
