UUID of Alert Notification Profile - ANP (in GATT), in Bluetooth Low Energy

Question

I am working with Alert Notification Profile (ANP) in Bluetooth Low Energy between Samsung Galaxy S3 and peripheral device.

I can not find any information related to specific UUID's ANP at Android Developer Site.

But in ANCS Specifications (iOS Developer Site), They define specific UUID's ANCS :

The Apple Notification Center Service is a primary service whose service UUID is 7905F431-B5CE-4E99-A40F-4B1E122D00D0.

I feel worry about this different, so anyone can tell me about :

What is specific UUID's ANP in Android?

P/s : From UUID in Wiki, I know this :

Anyone can create a UUID and use it to identify something with reasonable confidence that the same identifier will never be unintentionally created by anyone to identify something else.

But actually, Google Developer has not confirmed about specific UUID's ANP yet?

Answer 1

The basic Bluetooth is : 0000xxxx-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb.

"xxxx" is Assigned Number you need replace in it, you can declared.

But the other thing, at firmware side also define that UUID for Mobile Application can communicate with Firmware.

You dont need to know the uuid of profile. You need to know the uuids of services belong to this profile. It has one services and the uuid is 00001811-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb Also yoou need to know the uuids characteristics belong to this services to get the value of them. It has 5 characteristics:

1- New Alert Category : 00002A47-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb 2- New Alert : 00002A46-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb 3- Supported Unread Alert Category : 00002A48-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb

etc..

I guess you are trying to use the Phone to send Alert to an external device ?

If I understand correctly the bluetooth specs, https://developer.bluetooth.org/TechnologyOverview/Pages/ANS.aspx , your Phone is supposed to be turned into a peripheral, not a central to do that.

Peripheral = slave, server central = master, client

The issue is, android phones can't be turned into peripherals (so far) https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=59693

While it is probable that a future update fixes this, it is not an available feature yet.

Of course you could always hack your way into making it available ;-) but that'd be a dirty solution http://blog.cozybit.com/enabling-peripheral-mode-in-android-kitkat-4-4/
