I'll have to try the Growl thing then: I installed NotifymyAndroid and registered but it comes with no instructions, and the website (netchup.com) is gone. Lots of reviewers complaining it doesn't work or stopped working, though some (as of their review) say it was still working for them.
Dunno what you installed then :/ better uninstall it.
website is
http://www.notifymyandroid.com/ and link to GPlay and Growl is there
