How to Monitor your Android device activity with Chrome to See phone notifications on your desktop

If you’re finding yourself getting distracted by your phone at work then check out the Chrome Desktop Notifications extension. Sync your Android device’s notifications with your Chrome web browser with this Chrome extension and Android app. 

So whenever you receive a notification for a missed called etc on your Android device, it’ll be forwarded to Chrome, which will display the push notification in a pop-up window on your desktop, allowing you to screen calls and messages from there. 

This will also be useful when your device is on silent but you want to monitor its activity. Check out our steps to learn how to install and run the Desktop Notification service.

There is currently no such extension for iOS devices, but several other Chrome-toiOS extensions are available.
