17<p>When you'd like to provide more information without requiring users
18to open your app on their handheld device, you can
19add one or more pages to the notification on the wearable. The additional pages
20appear immediately to the right of the main notification card.

26<p>To create a notification with multiple pages:</p>
27<ol>
28    <li>Create the main notification (the first page) with
29    {@link android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.Builder},
30    in the way you'd like the notification to appear on a handset.</li>
31    <li>Create the additional pages for the wearable with
32    {@link android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.Builder}.</li>
33    <li>Apply the pages to the main notification with the
34    {@link android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.WearableExtender#addPage addPage()}
35    method or add multiple pages in a {@link java.util.Collection} with the
36    {@link android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.WearableExtender#addPage addPages()} method.
37    </li>
38</ol>
39
40<p>For example, here's some code that adds a second page to a notification:</p>
41
42<pre>
43// Create builder for the main notification
44NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder =
45        new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
46        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_message)
47        .setContentTitle("Page 1")
48        .setContentText("Short message")
49        .setContentIntent(viewPendingIntent);
50
51// Create a big text style for the second page
52BigTextStyle secondPageStyle = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
53secondPageStyle.setBigContentTitle("Page 2")
54               .bigText("A lot of text...");
55
56// Create second page notification
57Notification secondPageNotification =
58        new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
59        .setStyle(secondPageStyle)
60        .build();
61
62// Extend the notification builder with the second page
63Notification notification = notificationBuilder
64        .extend(new NotificationCompat.WearableExtender()
65                .addPage(secondPageNotification))
66        .build();
67
68// Issue the notification
69notificationManager =
70        NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
71notificationManager.notify(notificationId, notification);
72</pre>
