将 Grab 的实时活动带到 Android：通过自定义通知增强用户体验

In May 2023, Grab unveiled the Live Activity feature for iOS, which received positive feedback from users. Live Activity is a feature that enhances user experience by displaying a user interface (UI) outside of the app, delivering real-time updates and interactive content. At Grab, we leverage this feature to keep users informed about their order updates without requiring them to manually open the app.

2023年5月，Grab推出了iOS的实时活动功能，得到了用户的积极反馈。实时活动是一项增强用户体验的功能，通过在应用程序之外显示用户界面（UI），提供实时更新和交互内容。在Grab，我们利用这个功能，让用户了解订单更新，而无需手动打开应用程序。

While Live Activity is a native iOS feature provided by Apple, there is currently no official Android equivalent. However, we are determined to bring this immersive experience to Android users. Inspired by the success of Live Activity on iOS, we have embarked on design explorations and feasibility studies to ensure the seamless integration of Live Activity into the Android platform. Our ultimate goal is to provide Android users with the same level of convenience and real-time updates, elevating their Grab experience.

虽然实时活动是苹果提供的iOS原生功能，但目前尚无官方的Android等效功能。然而，我们决心将这种沉浸式体验带给Android用户。受到iOS上实时活动的成功启发，我们已经开始进行设计探索和可行性研究，以确保将实时活动无缝集成到Android平台。我们的最终目标是为Android用户提供与iOS相同的便利和实时更新，提升他们的Grab体验。

Product Exploration

产品探索

In July 2023, we took a proactive step by forming a dedicated working group with the specific goal of exploring Live Activity on the Android platform. Our mindset was focused on quickly enabling the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of this feature for Android users. We focused on enabling Grab users to track food and mart orders on Live Activity as our first use-case. We also designed the Live Activity module as an extendable platform, allowing easy adoption by other Grab internal verticals such as the Express and Transport teams.

2023年7月，我们采取了积极的步骤，成立了一个专门的工作组，旨在探索Android平台上的Live Activity。我们的思维方式是专注于快速为Android用户启用此功能的MVP（最小可行产品）。我们的重点是使Grab用户能够在Live Activity上跟踪食品和杂货订单，作为我们的第一个用例。我们还将Live Activity模块设计为可扩展的平台，方便其他Grab内部垂直领域（如Express和Transport团队）的轻松采用。
