Apps Retreave turn by turn information from Navigation app.

[Klinders]

Hi, my name is Koen Linders. I'm a student at Segbroek highschool in The Hague. I'm currently working on a project to show turn by turn navigation signals on my bicycle. I'm using my arduino board to turn on the led's. My question is: is it possible to get the turn info from a android navigation app like maps or sygic so it can be read by another application?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Klinders, and welcome to Android Forums

That sounds like a pretty interesting project. I've moved your thread into our Application Development subforum where I hope it will get a bit more traffic.

Assuming that the navigation app in question outputs instructions to the notification area of an Android device, you should be able to use the Notifications Access permission and the NotificationListenerService to parse the notifications and get the relevant information. Hopefully one of our developers can elaborate a bit more on that for you
