Again, if you have previously paired the device, I think you can get some form of notification, especially if your app is already running.
But if the device was never paired, the user would have to explicitly pair them first. It's a security issue. I don't know even that another device running your app could notify your app in any other way. -- Rick On Feb 2, 2011, at 04:03:48, Tharindu Madushanka wrote: > Hi, > > mm.. ok.
