This sample demonstrates receiving passive goal notifications in the background using the PassiveMonitoringClient API.

You will need a Wear device with Health Services installed.

• Open the sample project in Android Studio.
• Plug in your Wear device and launch the app.

On startup, the app checks whether steps and floors data is available. If it is, you will see a screen like this:

Use the switch to enable or disable goal subscriptions. Two separate goals are configured:

• Daily step goal: Notification for achieving 10,000 steps. This resets each day
• Floors goal: This goal notifies the user each time 3 floors have been climbed

On devices where steps and floors are not available, you will see a screen like this:

With the sample running, you can turn on the synthetic data tracker by running the below command from a shell. This will mimic the user performing an activity and generating steps data. Check the app UI or logcat messages to see these data updates.

adb shell am broadcast \
-a "whs.USE_SYNTHETIC_PROVIDERS" \
com.google.android.wearable.healthservices

To set the "user" walking:

# running
adb shell am broadcast \
-a "whs.synthetic.user.START_WALKING" \
com.google.android.wearable.healthservices

To stop using the synthetic tracker, run this command:

adb shell am broadcast -a \
"whs.USE_SENSOR_PROVIDERS" \
com.google.android.wearable.healthservices
