Is it possible to read Android notifications through Google Assistant?
Use case:
"Ok Google, read my notifications"
Google Assistant:
"You have one unread messages from.."
I just asked and it said "I can't read your notifications yet."
I think the answer is no.

i'm currently working on an app like a vault that prevents you to open that app but only by your voice or fingerprint on the google assistant. But my question is that may be with fingerprint i can but by voice how?? cause i need to store the voice somewhere and then later compare it.. Please help me
For starters - you can't check a user's voice on the Assistant. Google doesn't send you the audio of what the user has said. All you get is a text transcript.
However... what you want is already what is implemented by Google. Users who have setup voice recognition on their Google Home devices will be recognized by the Assistant when they say "ok google" or "hey google" and you will receive a unique userID for those users. You'll get the same ID the next time they try talking to you. If the Google Home doesn't recognize the voice, it won't provide the ID.
There are caveats with the voice recognition, and voices can be recorded and played back so this isn't a foolproof security method, but from what you have described, it sounds like Google already does what you want.
I want to create an app that every hour asks me "What are you doing?" through voice notification.
There are a few ways I can respond, "Working", "Playing", etc.
Then it can log it on my calendar. If this is possible, what are the correct terms that are used to describe this? So I can search for documentation.
Would like to build this with Google Actions https://developers.google.com/actions/ and with Google Home
You can try the Push notifications feature to trigger the wanted intent where you will prompt the user for the type of activity he/she is doing.
The user can respond and then your webhook can take care of logging to your activity to your calendar using the Calendar API (Assuming you are referring to Google Calendar)
Note that this feature is currently in Developer preview and will not work in a production environment. Also it is only intended for Google Assistant on mobile devices. Google Home devices do not support any push notification features at the moment.
I'd like to broadcast a message on my Google Home using the new broadcast command from a node server.
Example use would be to notify me when I receive an email, paypal notification, etc.
Is it possible to do so with Google Assistant SDK? I've tried searching for a github with similar features to no avail.
Thanks!
No what you want is not possible with the Google Home as there's no way to do notifications or directly invoke commands with notifications.
With the assistant SDK, you'd need a device to embed your logic. You would need to feed in audio clips telling it to broadcast some phrase and come up with a trigger for when to send that audio.
How can I display the results from an intent in Api Ai to users phone. So basically when user ask something to the google home, the response will be audio in his google home also a visual representation in his phone.
The best method we have at the moment would be to have your Action use something like Firebase Cloud Messaging to send a notification to the phone. There is currently no way to have a card or anything along those lines show up in the Google Assistant on the phone when you do something on Google Home's Assistant.
I would like to ask some suggestions to the experts who have faced similar problem as mine.
I am developing an iPhone application almost like a social networking application. This requires inviting friends to the application. The application is integrated with Facebook for login purpose. My question is that,
1) We can identify the Facebook friends who are using our application. We need to send notification (push notification) to iPhones of the friends who are using our application. Our backend is deployed in AWS. So that we have SNS and SQS for notification purpose. But it supports email and SMS notifications. I came to know from the web that there is Apple push notification services. Can we use apple push notification for this purpose? Which one is preferred here? SNS or apple push notification. Please advice. If you have any reference sites please give it to me.
To send APNS you need to have token of the device, so you can't send such notification just with the information about Facebook account. But if you are able to know that person is friend from Facebook and he uses your app, you can store some data, like token and facebook login of every user to send them APNS. But! Apple may reject it, because they hate when developers collect data that can identify a person.
APNS is nice for that situation, but risky. (Can anyone proof me wrong or right?)
Email is old-fashioned, but legal and easy to implement, i guess. Like, twitter sends push and email.
Also, you can use Facebook features (not so nice if you will integrate more social networks)
I think that you can use AWS SNS and APNS for what you want to do. You will need the pushTokens for the app/device that you are wanting to send push notifications as they act as the identifiers for the specific app/device to use as an endpoint.
You need to set up an SNS topic. Then you need to subscribe the devices (with the apps of interest) to the topic. Then you can publish to the topic (either programatically or via AWS Management console) and that message will propagate to all of the topics subscribed devices (termed endpoints).
AWS has a tutorial that walks you through this process: I have not tried it yet myself.
