How to track down message notification?

User, not developer, question about the Bangle2.

I'm getting duplicate notifications for SMS messages to my watch; they show up in the top status bar with different color envelope icons. I think what's happening is that two phone apps are sending notifications on SMS reception. Is there a way to tell which phone app is responsible for a given message?

If I'm right, I should be able to address it by turning off notifications in GadgetBridge (the BangleJS version) for one of the apps; my issue is determining which things are generating notifications. Does GB itself detect SMS and notify, and because I've enabled notifications from my SMS app I'm getting both?

Yes, I believe it does...

To track it down for sure, probably the best bet is in Gadgetbridge soon after you got an SMS, click on Debug then Fetch device Debug Logs

Connect your phone to a PC and set it to share storage, then look at the log file in Internal shared storage/Android/data/com.espruino.gadgetbridge.banglejs/files

In it you'll see some lines like SENDING GB({"t":"notify",...

And you should be able to see in those lines if you get two similar ones I think they'll have different src values that might help track down where they're coming from

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
