Welcome to the Community @andrewp88! Currently, it's not possible to receive notifications from Windows devices. However, Fitbit is always testing this, so everybody can have the option to receive notifications in their Fitbit trackers. 

 

In the meantime, you can vote for this idea Call and text notifications for Windows Phone. Those are viewed by our engineers and developers. 

 

Thanks for your understanding.

@andrewp88 please keep an eye on the Win 10 info post that may be found in the Win 10 forum. Especially the last paragraph. 

This is where any updates are being announced.

@andrewp88, fitbit dies take notice, but their hands where tied untill Microsoft add the proper server to their Windows phone OS. With lacking this feature companies like Gatmon, Fitbit,

Please look at the windows forums as you do you will notice that currently there is a beta test going on with this feature and GPS being tested.

It was only a few months ago that this became a possibility, when Windows added the required server.
