The difference is that Android Wear devices are always connected to a device via bluetooth. To do what you are wanting to do, you would need to either establish a bluetooth connection and send data via the connection yourself or send the data up to some web server that you maintain and then do a push notification to your other device.
In both scenarios though, you aren't going to be able to make use of NotificationCompat to handle the interaction between the two devices like you do with Android Wear devices. You're going to have to manually write all that stuff yourself.
