I'm wanting something like Prowl for android, so my growl notifications get pushed to my phone.
I was thinking something along the lines of:
Growl gets a notification > send SMS through email to the phone > APP intercepts SMS and pops up the Growl notification as an android notification in the pulldown
Possible?
Tasker (tasker.dinglisch(dot)net/index.html sorry can't post links yet) has the ability to intercept text message I believe. And I know you create many types of custom notifications based on the input. You could make a notification bar message and play a custom sound. Or even trigger application loads, and well, too many other things to list.
You'll have to play around with it a bit first to get the hang of it.
For the PC side you will have to find or write a program that will forward the growl notifications by text to your phone though.

Tried it, that requires the phone to be constantly active and to be on the same wifi network.
Tagging along.

Best i've found is to just set growl send an sms to my phone through my email.
This is something that I will hopefully starting work on shortly, However I will most likely utilise C2DM on android 2.2 (Froyo) though I may add a fall back to use SMS's with the app intercepting them.
Bump!
I'm switching all my notification stuff to Growl for Windows and it's awesome. I was looking for a way to forward them to my Android phone and found this topic. With Froyo now supporting push, I think this is easier to make without the hassle of WiFi, Bluetooth and other non-solutions. Unfortunately, I don't know Java so I can't code this myself, but maybe some other dev is interested in this? I'd gladly donate.
Edit: Hehe, only read the first sentence of the post above me..
When tasker intercepts an SMS, can it delete the sms? That way you get a notification in the status bar without having to delete a text msg.
There is: http://nma.usk.bz . It's just like Prowl, but for the Android.
Right now there is pretty much just the Android client and the public API to send notifications.

Hi uskr,
So does that work in the same way? You just fill out the details in Growl for Windows and it'll push through notifications to the phone?
If so that's exactly what I want Coming from an iPhone with Prowl to a Galaxy S2, and the Prowl notifications would be sorely missed.
Yes. We actually support both Growl for Windows and for MacOS. It's just like Prowl, but for the Android platform.
Enjoy!
Lovely, thanks Now the long wait for the SGS2 to get here
Check out Notifo, its currently in beta and not in the market. Google it "notifo for android"

Anyone else other than the pay-for "NotifyMyAndroid" that we can use?
I know I'm not the only one that wants this...
Being an admin my box is constantly filled with stuff that I really don't want to wake me at 3am. However, when an outage or other high priority alert comes through, it would be AWESOME if I could alert on only those messages, or have a different alert for them.
Any chance that anyone is working on an app that would let the user specify an alert based on an email rule or filter? This is one I'd pay for gladly.

You need to specify which mail client you're using.. If you're using K9, you can most likely use Tasker to do this. http://www.dinglisch.net/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?catselect=29
For me, I have it notify me with a second, remarkable notification immediately after the standard one for new email for special emails I want to read immediately. You could get fancy and have it only notify once with a unique sound if necessary.
As an admin, what are you using for business email? If it's Exchange/Outlook or Google Apps/Outlook you can simply set this up a series of rules in Outlook and have only relevant/whitelisted emails pushed to your mobile device. It's probably possible with Gmail as well, but I haven't tried it.
Good luck!
We're on Exchange. Your solution has merit, however I still want access to all emails on my device. I'd just like to be able to configure which ones alert via some very simple rules/filters.
I know that Froyo is supposed to have better exchange support. I can only hope that if it supports folders, perhaps I can set alerts for certain folders. Then I could set some server side rules to auto-sort as they come in.
We'll see...
I have looked all over the internet it feels like, and I have yet to find the answer i'm looking for. Hopefully someone can answer here.
My question is for work related outlook alerts. Right now I am using Touchdown on my Evo and really enjoy it but it is not for wp7 only android. Any Sev1 and Sev2 alerts coming through it allows me to use a different ringtone vibrate.
Is there a built in feature for WP7 outlook with custom alerts or an app that anyone knows of out there?
I really want to get a WP7 phone but unfortunately I have to hold off. So far even the reps at the Sprint store dont know. (please note: I didnt expect to find the answer at the Sprint Store but had to give it a shot)
Ive seen MS chose to combine IM and SMS and to me this looks really messy.
First of all the integration of IM is quite nice but I wish it was kept seperate from SMS conversations since these are to the majority of people still different than IMs and used on different devices or apps. I dont want to continue a conversation automatically on a different app or something. This will be very annoying to the other user.
Certainly if somebody just left his/her pc on or IM on accidently....
They should have added facebook private messaging as well and IM/SMS seperated like it was and just added a chat pivot in the messaging hub.
to me an sms is still something every user has always with him her, like when u send somebody an address or something it should be on their phones and not deliverd trough IM and its annoying having to switch first.
Its kind of short sighted implementation, the idea is good but the reality will be very annoying the way it works now.
you will get a ton of sms like notifications for every IM which can be annoying since on a chat conversation people send much more messages per minute than trough sms. Having to toggle online offline all the time will be a pita
am i the only one who thinks this will be garbage? Instead they should have allowed third party apps like whatsapp to use this on user permission. I hope I can switch off the live messenger. Or just revert back to the original sms screen
I like the idea to have an overview of my messages regardlessly whether they come via SMS, Windows Live or Facebook. Although I agree that getting notifications for all those messages shown on the SMS tile would be kind of overwhelming. But I can imagine Microsoft changes the way the tile works. So it still shows the number of SMS, but in addition to that shows an icon or something when you recieve a chat message from Facebook or Windows Live.
In my opinion.. the best feauture ever, of every OS. Loved that!
I love it as well, and think its nice not to have to go to 4 different places for my facebook, text, wlm & (eventually skype).
While I hope they either have a toggle setting for separate 'rows', or add it soon after Mango for those who really don't like it, I honestly doubt they want to mess it up by having too many places for messages. It fits in pretty perfectly with their vision for the overall UI design imo.
For me,M$ thread is not a new idea,it just copying the messaging app in the HP webos...however HP webos messaging is better,they can download apps that support HP connect and integrate into the messaging app(so,this means they can have more than 1 im clients in 1 messaging app).
Feel so sorry to HP webos,always being copied by others,even the UI design of playbook has been copied

Threading will be the beginning of the end for SMS IMNSHO. Most people still use SMS because it's what they know and are used to.
My wife is a great example, she keeps sending me SMSes while I'm out because that's what she's used to. Even though I've had email (and to some extent IM) on my phones since forever. With a "messaging hub" it takes all the guesswork out of the equation - she'll write the message as she normally does and the phone will decide whether it should deliver via FB, Messenger, Skype or SMS.
Now, if you don't want to continue the conversation if the user has moved to a different device you don't have to. The phone will tell you how the message was sent as well as what services the recipient is currently logged on to.

This just proves my point - you're used to SMS. And again, you can choose whether to send as SMS or IM.
Personally I find this feature great. Two things should be done to make it even better though;
1. Implement a industry-wide protocol so it doesn't matter if you're on a crackberry, iphone or windows phone. Sure, Skype and Messenger goes a long way towards achieving this but there are still people who use smaller IM services only.
2. Allow third-party apps to hook in to the messaging hub - there's a few apps out there today that are not chat apps as such but still implement messaging. Being able to receive (and reply to) these messages from the same place would be great. It would also make it easier for other IM services to integrate with the OS.

But why? Are you less likely to want to read a message coming in thru Messenger than one delivered via SMS? I for one don't care how my messages are delivered, I just want to be notified. It's a bit like having three post boxes outside your house - one for deliveries by DHL only, another for Deutsche Post and a third for everyone else - i.e. pointless
I really like this new feature as well. I am confident that any replies you send to someone will use the same service they used to "text" you, unless you choose to change it. People on non-WP7 phones won't suddenly need to be jumping all over the place.
On the other hand, when other people send you messages from multiple sources (SMS, FB, WLM, etc), you will be able to get all of the messages in one convenient place. I like that.
Well, I haven't seen anything about this here, (my search-fu might not be polling the right keywords) but this is bad news ya'll. The more that I research into this, the more that I see that Samsung chose to remove this feature. It is available on other Oreo devices (not Samsung's though, s8 s8+ users are affected after oreo update as well.) I tried Textra, and I can change the tone for the conversation, but that's hacky, not totally effective for group chats, and it is not sending or receiving all of my messages. I hate the single ringtone.
Anyone else frustrated by this?

(edit) general Samsung discussion, at least 3 threads as of posting were about the text tones. https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/GeneralDiscussion
I'm equally annoyed by this. As many are from what I can find on other sites. Beyond me as to why Samsung decided to remove features. ? hoping for a fix soon on the native messaging app. I'll pass on 3rd party.

Are you referring to the stock SMS app? I use Chomp SMS and can change the notification sound.

Go to settings > notifications > messages and then it is by category one sound for general alerts and one for new messages you can change the sound whether it vibrates or the importance

The OP is talking about assigning a specific tone to each individual contact, so you know who's texting you without looking.
I too am not thrilled with this because I want to use the Samsung messaging application for its integration on the phone and on my s3 watch go figure text notifications don't work as smoothly on the watch when your not using the Samsung messaging application. Seems specifically due to oreo.
I beta tested the S8+ Oreo and requested this feature. They said that not all features may be included in the Beta but may show up in the final release. I was skeptical and it appears they did do away with it. It was one of my favorite features, I hope they bring it back.

I've checked out a bunch of apps, and I can custom assign tones to conversations (its not the contact that gets the tone) but that gets confusing on multicontact conversations. I setup a group sms chat with the family, but now its 1 tone for the conversation, rather than each person with their own tone. Very Frustrating. Hoping that the feature comes back.
The new android messages now allows custom conversation notifications, but it's not like the setting in contacts. But it is better than nothing and I'll keep hoping Samsung includes it in a later update.

Is this in the stock message application? How did you set it per coversation?
Just do it twice and it will set

Do what twice? There's no place in the Samsung app, or in Samsung contacts, to set a message tone.
No, only can set custom conversation tones in apps like Textra and Chomp. The stock app only uses the default text sound (or the one that is set globally)

Not sure what you mean, but I have done lots of things twice, and still no custom sms/mms tones per contact.
IT seems that Samsung might be paying attention:
