Is there a app that gives notification of the Google Music free song of the day?
Similar to how this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.apperhand.amazon.appstore.free.app.of.the.day
Notifies of the free Amazon App Store free app of the day?

Yes Please! ...and how about all the other free songs on Google Play Music?
I second this inquery and move to inform of possible solutions for google music free song of the day/free song collection/antenna free song , anyone?
free song of the day is listed on the main page:
https://play.google.com/store/music?hl=en
it is down a little bit after the 'best deals' section. On the free song of the day is a link for 'more free music':
https://play.google.com/store/music...theme_2011_10_29?feature=free-song-of-the-day
Their free song of the day, I guess actually came from blog Magnifier:
http://magnifier.blogspot.com/
which hosted features for people to find/discover new music, and of course a free song of the day.
apparently the blog not only had a free song of the day, but had a segment called "Antenna" with free samplers, which seemed to be monthly 'editor picks', would be a good way to describe what it was before.... usually of a new release OR an independent / lesser known band complete with reviews....
http://magnifier.blogspot.com/search/label/Antenna
Antenna, as with the 'song of the day' also merged into google play music, and is now stating "ANTENNA SAMPLER: Google Play's monthly free sampler is back with more new hip-hop, indie, electronic, country and Latin pop." which seems to be a selection of several artists, ~10 tracks, with an opening few paragraphs talking about that month's selection... it is found (took me a while) at the bottom of the main store page, on the left below the graphic that says "Free Music" (not the same link... which is misleading), the link is the actual text that says "ANTENNA": https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2010140_ant_antenna_march
it looks like it is actually a 'collection' which there are other collections to the right of "free music".
The original Magnifier blog also had "Scanner", which provided free samples of different GENRES of music:
http://magnifier.blogspot.com/search/label/Scanner
In the Google Music store, I am not sure where to find this at all - however I do believe it is the same as when you first create an account (or maybe it was when first logging in, or downloading the 'music manager' desktop program) and it offered to add free music based on the genres you selected..... IF anyone knows where to find the free music GENRE sections within Google Play Music, please let me know!!
Also, The original Magnifier blog contained video interviews with various artists... new releases, new artists, up and coming, independent, etc... However, the video features usually contained a selection of free songs as well:
http://magnifier.blogspot.com/search/label/Video Feature
The link to the google play store works:
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_videofeature_20100c2_vid_dr_dog
However, I cannot figure out where this 'video features' section is and how to get to them from the Google Play site... again, if you know - please let me know
And last, there was a 'free songs archive', a banner on the side of the page... I believe this is the same as the ''more free music" link on the song of the day:
https://play.google.com/store/music...011_10_29?feature=free-song-of-the-day#?t=W10.
free songs url from the magnifier banner link:
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_theme_2011_10_29
However, it does not provide the entire 'archive' to view but it seems to change once a week?? I'm not sure....
SOOOOO There are SEVERAL placed to get free music from Google Play Music store.... some of them I can't even find anymore, and don't know exactly how they name the 'collections' as it isn't a generic link, but changes with each new weekly/monthly 'free samplers'....
For example:
Searching "google play music magnifier" came up with this result, an old video feature:
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_videofeature_2011_10_26?hl=en
Searching "google play music antenna" came up with several different old antenna collections:
most recent -
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2010140_ant_antenna_march
older results -
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2012_01_12?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music...iew_antenna_2010019_ant_antenna_october?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music...ew_antenna_20100d5_ant_antenna_december?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2012_01_11
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_20100fb_ant_jan_antenna?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2010121_ant_feb_antenna?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2012_01_13?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2012_01_13?hl=en
These seem more like the original blog's "Antenna" in that it is about a single album by an artist, with a paragraph of info about the artist/band:
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2011_10_27?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2012_01_10?hl=en
Either these (a specific artist on Antenna) or the "Video Features" with free songs to download -I think- are related to all the albums titled:
"(Artist Name): Live at Google" by (Artist) or simply "Live @ Google" by (Artist)
Which so far seem to all be free... Also, all the album 'cover art' for these albums also have a similar grey bar that says "[email protected]" as if it is the album name, regardless of which of the two album titles above is used.
Other than being able to make out the year (2012) and dates on some of these links, and then not using the year anymore on newer ones but a 2010xx link of some sort, I can't seem to make sense of how to check regularly other than going through the google music play store and hoping the Antenna section is there and hoping I can find out where to find the Video Features section...
Of course all the links have "/music/collections/series_overview_".... in the url, however I have seen nothing to indicate searching collections or finding links to 'series'.... Again, if you know something I've missed - please let me know!!!
Hopefully there is a program / app or something that can inform (or possibly automate the 'add'?), for at least the free song of the day? As that seems to be one of the many sources of free music on Google Play Music that would be easy to locate and has a 'feature=free song of the day' URL that likely(?) stays the same...
thanks for any help guys! :fingers-crossed:

I know it's been a while since you asked, but maybe some else will stumble across this thread looking for it.
I have written a free app just for this. It is called "Free Song of the Day" in the Play Store. Search for FSOTD or download it here;
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.taggahertz.freesongoftheday
I would really appreciate any feedback. I have just released it and I am sure there could be some improvements. I will even be willing to send you a premium version of the app for free if you PM me and are willing to test it out.
Also, if anyone has any good ideas on how to promote Android apps to get more downloads, I'd be more than interested. Thanks.

Looks interesting but not available in the U.K. I would also suggest you create your own thread to publicize your app.

We here at ArcDatum are trying to get some feedback on our new applications Wiki Lecturer Free and Wiki Lecturer Pro. It basically combines Wikipedia and Music player features to create your own personal educational audio book containing all the world's knowledge. Android is supported for now and we need to test its viability as a useful app before porting it to other platforms.
Some features:
Reads your article to you using Text-to-Speech
Lets you build play queues (just like playlists in music players)
Has image zoom capability (something we found that wiki apps don't have; basically it lets you click any image link and it'll grab the full size version for you)
Supports many languages both for reading and in Text-to-Speech
Many more
Do note that some of the greatest features (like playing in the background and the widget) are only available in the Pro version for obvious reasons.
Free version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arcdatum.wikilecturer&feature=search_result
Pro version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arcdatum.wikilecturerPro&feature=search_result
Note: You can just look up "Wiki Lecturer" in the Play store and you'll find us. In other languages like French it might be "Wiki Professeur" etc. We will update this post with the actual play links when XDA lets us.
You can find our app logo in the attachments.
Please do remember that our app is in it's early stages and that we are looking to improve it according to user concerns. We are not necessarily looking for a full review at this time but if you feel that the app is ready for one, do let us know.
If you have any questions, comments, or ideas as to how we can further our marketing efforts you can contact us at [email protected]
Edit: added the Google Play links

Today I released Appsi 1.5 (sidebar app, in top 5 new favorites from August on Android Police) and one of the new features is support for Home Plugins. These are basicly like DashClock Extensions (which are also supported) but will work on lower API levels. Another reason for my own type is also that you can't host DashClock extensions in two apps.
So I created a sample project for this, which contains all the extension DashClock includes and a few other ones (networking state and a few usefull links that make sense for Appsi). The project is right here (https://github.com/nickmartens/AppsiHomePlugins) on GitHub. The app can also be found here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsimobile.appsihomeplugins) on Google Play and needs Appsi installed for it to work.
I'd like to ask other developers to create plugins as well. If you've ever created DashClock plugins this is pretty much the same. and you can see how easy it is to convert existing DashClock plugins by looking at the source code.
Hey everybody!
To God be the glory, I've been making some custom roms on XDA for a while, but I have decided to try to learn some new things by taking an app developer course. I've made a few apps, and I thought I would share them here as well. This app is open source, you are welcome to go to the Github and post issues, review and or copy the code (it is Apache-2.0 licensed), or download the app and enjoy!
These are my first apps, and I know they need a little improvement. So please feel free to leave a comment! But please remember, the best criticism is constructive.
If you do check out my Github, note that just about every line of my code includes a comment as to what it does or why it exists, so if you are like me and new to Android programming, be sure to check it out to see how it works! Also, in my Github are many "small apps" in the "apps_small" repo, which are apps I either made for the class, or made on the side to test out some feature or function. Hopefully that would be useful to someone.
Without further ado:
Hourglass - a timer application.
A simple application that can be used to start a
timer from one second to one hour. The app can then
be closed or left open, while a status bar notification
reminds you that you have a timer in progress.
Upon reaching 00:00, an audible sound as well as a
short vibration and visual pop-up will indicate that your
timer has ended. You can enable and disable the vibrations,
and change the sound between bells, chirps, or foghorns.
Great for reminding yourself to do something, or for
use while playing games that require timers! And,
best of all: THIS APP CONTAINS NO ADDS!

Hello folks,
Now Playing feature on the Pixel 2 is awesome. It works very well, but it keeps no track of the songs identified. Hence I present you Now Playing Tracker. An app to keep track of all songs identified.
Features:
1. Once you grant notification access, forget about the app, all the songs identified will be ready for you when you come to the app.
2. Mark the songs you really like as favorites.
3. Save location to each identified song. (Map view comes in the next update)
4. Export a list of all songs as CSV. Open it up in Excel or Sheets and you can see the location and the date each song was identified.
5. Clear all data or clear just the non favorites.
6. Clean material design implementation.
7. Minimal battery usage since location is requested from the OS. Android gives requesting apps it last known location hence the app does not use any GPS or WIFI for location.
For all the devs out there, I am a junior Android dev and have written this app completely in Kotlin. It was a great learning experience and I am in love with the language.
For future updates:
1. Map View
2. Night Mode I'll keep updating the app very frequently with new features and to fix bugs if any.
Here are a few promo codes:
