            <p>
              You can also trigger your notifications contextually using existing Android APIs.  For example, use <a href="{@docRoot}training/location/geofencing.html">geofences</a> to provide glanceable information to your users when they are at home, or use the <a href="{@docRoot}training/location/activity-recognition.html">activity detection APIs</a> to send messages to your users’ wrists while they are bicycling.
            </p>

            <p>See the <a href="{@docRoot}wear/design/index.html">Android Wear Developer Preview Design Principles</a> for more suggestions on creating great wearable experiences.</p>
