Android notifications are coming to your Windows 10 PC

With the new feature, you will be able to reply messages directly from your PC, see notifications of calls, messages and a variety of other apps.

Windows 10 Action Centre

Media reports Microsoft has announced plans to bring Android phone notifications to your Windows 10 PC. The tech giant revealed the detail of the project at its recently concluded Build 2016 conference.

With the new feature, you will be able to reply messages directly from your PC, see notifications of calls, messages and a variety of other apps.

The feature will work through the Cortana app for Android, which is currently only available in the US, but it will be rolling out to the rest of the world in the coming months.

The new Action Center UI will sync to the cloud, plug in Cortana notifications into Android's notification listener, and then sending these to your Windows 10 PC.

Microsoft said the Notification Center will undergo a major overhaul that will bring a richer, more image-heavy notification experience.

Developers, however, will have to enable support for notification mirroring in their apps, and users will be free to enable or disable the feature in all the individual apps on their respective devices.

See the video below for a video demonstration of notification syncing in the Windows 10 Action Center:
