A noob question. I want to receive a notification when variable changes on the iOS app. to be clear. I want show notification on iWatch app when for example the user presses a button on the iOS App.
I have seen many tutorials for using the notifications interface. but all of them doesn't specify how to trigger the notifications from iPhone.
Anyone who knows a proper guide?
Thank you
Your notifications will go to your iPhone or your Apple Watch, depending on the device that you're using.
iOS will take care of notifications if your ios app supports notifications.
If your iPhone is unlocked, you get notifications on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch.
If your iPhone is locked or asleep, and your Apple Watch is unlocked and on your wrist, you get notifications on your Apple Watch.

I want to make a button on the Apple Watch that, when tapped, will send a notification to the iPhone making it beeping and turning on his screen. Trouble is that, when iPhone is paired to an Apple Watch, all notifications plays on the Apple Watch. Is there a way to send a notification exclusively to iPhone?
Edit: Technically should be possible, this app do that! https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/lookout-free/id434893913?mt=8

In my app, I want to notify to user in Apple Watch when both iPhone and Apple Watch are locked. Is that possible to notify in Apple Watch only when both Apple Watch and iPhone are locked?
No it it snot possible. iOS decides which device receives the push notification, as you noticed, depending on which one is being used, etc.
I am working on an iWatch application. I am doing a sample app using swift and my requirement is to display LocalNotifications. When i run my app in my iPhone simulator i’m getting the notifications but i'm not getting notifications when i run the app in iWatch simulator. Can any one explain me about how local notifications display in iWatch.
Do we need to design any UI to show the notifications on iWatch i.e static or dynamic interfaces in iWatch Interface builder?
Thanks in advance.
Run your watch app Select notification target on simulator, dismiss the notification and stay on clock face.
Hit ⌘L to lock iOS simulator.
Enjoy notification arriving to watch app.

I can get push notifications on an Iphone device, but I cannot get them on apple watch,please advise.
On simulator notification test works, but on real device it doesn't work.
iOS will decide where best to send any notification. It will not just send to both devices.
If iOS thinks it is best to display it on your phone, then it will notify there or vice versa.
iOS automatically makes that decision using facts such as you are wearing the Watch, because if you're not wearing the Watch, there's no point in sending a notification there.
To test the receiving of notifications do the following:
Turn of the iPhone's screen.
Take on the Watch. It must be on your wrist.
The watch has the heart beat detector. Therefore, the watch will know if it is not wearn or not and only displays notifications if you wear it.
