The notfification APIs now use NotificationSpec as their only parameter, which
contains all information (required and optional ones).
We no longer have separate methods and actions for SMS/EMAIL/GENERIC anymore.
The type of notification is important now, not how we received them technically.
This allowed to remove some ugly hacks from pebble code, when encoding a
response in a GBDeviceEventSendBytes and at the same time trying to notify
generic code via another GBDeviceEnvent.
Previously, the DeviceCommunicationService was invoked directly,
via
Intent intent = new Intent(foo, bar);
intent.setExtra(EXTRA_BAZ, baz);
startService(...);
and this was scattered throughout GadgetBridge.
Now there is a "frontend" available, so that you can call
the service more easily, like
GBApplication.deviceService().connect();
For a start, this client interface (DeviceService) actually
implements the same interface (EventHandler) as the receiving side
(DeviceSupport). This may change in the future.
This will also make testing much easier, because we can use
this client interface to invoke the test service as well.
