Robert, in the beta testing of nearby notifications, several people complained that included contexts don't work. The most popular example is that I need to buy something from a hardware store. There are three hrdware stores that I pass frequently. When I am near any one of them I want to be reminded of the item I need to buy. Andre replied that included contexts were not implemented in nearby at this time. You would have to submit an enhancement request. If you do, I would vote for it.
The business about excessive alarming is different. I'm pretty sure it's a bug, related to inappropriate use of the geofencing API. I have reported it in the past and I will report it again when the next Android version hits beta. -Dwight On Tuesday, January 7, 2014 8:54:35 AM UTC-5, robert roszak wrote: > > For me 'Included contexts' also turned out to be a disappointment.
