For some reason, Android devices don’t like to sync notifications between each other—even when they’re from the same manufacturer. Getting your Android Smart TV to show notifications from your phone is even more difficult.

This task can be solved with the [**Tv Overlay Remote**](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tabdeveloper.tvoverlayremote) app. Install it on both the TV and the smartphone, scan the QR code, and grant the required permissions.

Once that’s done, notifications from the phone will immediately be duplicated on the TV.
