Google appears to be working on a way to finally synchronize notifications across devices in its ecosystem, according to Android Authority’s Mishaal Rahman, who discovered code references to a new “sync across devices†option in the Android 15 beta.

Android notifications might finally sync across devices soon
Code in the Android 15 beta software appears to show that Google is preparing cross-device syncing for Android devices.
The snippet is apparently located under the Notifications section of Settings, nestled between “sensitive notifications†and a new “notification cooldown†option he spotted last week. There’s no Android notification syncing feature at the moment, as Rahman notes. So if you dismiss a notification on your Android tablet, the same notification will still greet you over on your phone later. This would, I’m sure, be a welcome change for most.
The sync code also lies under an Android-specific controller, implying that the feature would be a little treat for all of the Android ecosystem rather than for Pixel devices alone, writes Rahman. But there’s apparently no accompanying description that would confirm that, so there’s still a possibility that this could be a Pixel exclusive.
