MacroDroid PC Notification

This program will display native toast notifications on Windows for Google Messages phone notifications. This was created for personal use.

Requirements

Program

  • Simply launch the executable and it will begin listening for broadcasts in the background.
  • The program has no user-interface, so must be killed with Task Manager (named MacroDroid-PC-Notification).
  • Add a shortcut to %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup to have the program launch with Windows.

Macro

Triggers

  • Notification Received, with "Prevent multiple triggers" disabled: Any Content (Messages)

Variables

  • prev_dict : dictionary: tracks most recent message per contact, to prevent accidental re-triggers
  • not_dict : dictionary: contains data to be transformed into JSON
  • not_json : string: JSON sent over the network to the program

Actions

  • Set Variable prev_dict[{not_title}]: {notification}
  • Set Variable: not_dict[not_app]: {not_app_name}
  • Set Variable: not_dict[not_title]: {not_title}
  • Set Variable: not_dict[not_text]: {notification}
  • JSON Output: not_dict -> not_json
  • UDP Command: YourComputerIP:5000 - {lv=not_json}

Constraints

  • Wifi Connected: [YourWifi]
  • Compare Values: {not_title} != ""
  • Compare Values: {not_title} != Message not delivered
  • Compare Values: {notification} != ""
  • Compare Values: {notification} != {lv=prev_dict[{not_title}]}

Further notes

  • The program uses the following NuGet packages: Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications and Newtonsoft.Json.
  • The JSON sent over the network is not secure. Malicious actors could intercept sensitive messages, however it is unlikely.
  • I use my computer's IPv4 address so that the JSON is only sent within my network, hence the "Wifi Connected" constraint.
