Cross-environment event notification

A mobile computing device, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for a physical processor;
• a notification manager that broadcasts intent objects to systems and services of a mobile operating system that are registered to receive the intent objects in response to events occurring within the mobile operating system, the mobile operating system running concurrently and independently with a desktop operating system on a shared kernel of the mobile computing device, wherein the mobile operating system and the desktop operating system make system calls through the shared kernel without virtualized memory;
• a broadcast receiver that receives the intent objects, the broadcast receiver registered to receive the intent objects;
• an intent filter that filters the intent objects for intent objects associated with predetermined events, wherein the intent filter associates the intent objects with actions to be performed when the intent object is received;
• and
• a cross-environment event notifier that sends cross-environment notifications associated with the predetermined events to components of the desktop operating system that instantiate event listeners of a shared library corresponding to the predetermined events.

A mobile computing device including a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for a physical processor, the instructions, when executed, causing the processor to perform steps comprising:

• running a mobile operating system and a desktop operating system concurrently and independently on a shared kernel;
• broadcasting an event notification in the mobile operating system in response to an event occurring within the mobile operating system;
• receiving the event notification in a notification receiver of the mobile operating system;
• filtering the event notification in an event filter of the mobile operating system for predetermined events;
• and
• sending a cross-environment notification associated with a predetermined event to a component of the desktop operating system through an inter-process communication channel of the shared kernel based on a determination that the event notification matches the predetermined event;
• wherein the broadcasting of an event notification is to systems and services of the mobile operating system that are registered to receive the event notification;
• wherein the notification receiver is registered to receive the event notification;
• and
• wherein the mobile operating system and the desktop operating system make system calls through the shared kernel without virtualized memory.
