Hi

I really like your application, thanks for developing.
I have an idea for an enhancement: can you integrate whatsapp (the messaging 
system)? would be awesome

Apparently that app has no points of integration to plug into - no API, no 
service, no broadcasts. I'd also rather not have to deal with paid services.

just wondering, isn't it possible to connect to the Android notification 
handler and just push that information to the desktop?

Doesn't Jorin have a point here? In a general programming sense this would be 
easy, but I only do Windows programming. Might read into it though ;)

This following app seems to be able to do it somehow.

it is certainly possible using the accessibility service. The app in #6 uses 
that as well.
Here is a code example: 
https://github.com/ograycode/NotificationWatcher/blob/master/src/com/jason/Servi
ce/NoficationService.java

Since I haven't delved into android coding, I'm not sure how much info (other 
than that immediately put out by the event) is accessible, but a simple 
notification is certainly possible.

I'd say: please look into this, because it would really add to your already 
great app (and it would also leave it up to every person individually whether 
they would like email notifications or whatever. It requires no app-specific 
code, so it is quite easily implemented).

There are several ways to integrate with WhatsApp, the first one would be the 
WhatAPI: https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI

Another method is accessing the new messages using SQLite this way:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db "SELECT 
timestamp,data,key_remote_jid FROM messages WHERE key_from_me='0' ORDER BY 
timestamp DESC LIMIT 1;"

Explained on the following link:
http://technologyworkroom.blogspot.co.il/2013/05/tasker-how-to-read-out-whatsapp
.html

I was thinking about using this method to push notifications using Tasker, the 
problem is I can't push it the Remote Desktop Notification side.

Kind regards,
Yaron Shahrabani.
