Now your Android device will send you notifications directly on your desktop so that you never miss out on anything.
Although today's smartphones are well equipped to alert the users about most events but sometimes we miss that just one call that can ruin our rest of the day as you were busy with your work and miss the all important call despite the phone kept blinking right next to you. Sometimes, we also fail to respond the emergency SMSes in time.
But how nice it would be if your phone gives you an alert on your PC or laptop notifying you about what's happening on your smartphone.
Well there is an application called Desktop Notifier that can do this for you. All you need to do is relax and the software application on your Android Smartphone will do the rest for you. And once you have setup the whole thing, you won't miss a call again.
