<p>Some of the most powerful user experiences with Android Wear are based on context-aware
notifications and actions. By using device sensors and other contextual cues, your app can reveal
information and functionality precisely when the user needs it, at a glance.</p>

<p>For example, if you’re building a social app for restaurants, you can recommend popular menu
items when your app recognizes that the user is at a restaurant. More examples below provide basic
ideas about what you can do with a notification and action confirmation in your Android Wear
app.</p>
