Android 10.0 Q stores notifications in bubbles like Facebook Messenger

For several years, the Android application of Facebook Messenger stores its notifications in chat bubbles, which allow you to reply to a message without leaving the application you use. These bubbles remain visible on the screen whatever you do. In fact, notification bubbles must be enabled during development by the developers of each application. Google will now offer these bubbles natively in Android. It will be up to the user to activate this presentation.

Android 10.0 Q: Google tests notifications in chat bubbles for all apps

With Android Q, Google plans to generalize these bubbles, which will appear at the top of your screen one after the other. The first beta of Android Q offers a preview of these notification bubbles, report our colleagues 9to5Google. This interface is not proposed directly. To activate it, it is imperative to enter a command on ADB via a computer.

In this first draft, notification bubbles look like floating bubbles already used by Facebook Messenger. You can move the notification bubbles on your screen as you wish. To get rid of them, simply drag them down the screen. To access the usual quick actions, just click a bubble.

As 9to5Google points out, these notification balloons are still in the development stage. The presentation still requires some settings, especially when the bubbles are a little too many on the screen. Unsurprisingly, Google should leave the choice to users to enable or disable this option.
