Hello-
I have a question about my Arduino board and a cellphone application I made. My question is whether it is possible for the Arduino Uno board to send a signal to my phone via bluetooth that can open up an android application that I made for my project.
Please let me know if you need further clarification about my question and thank you in advance for answering!

The arduino can send data through the bluetooth no problem, you now have to write an app to listen for this data.
Thanks for your response. I understand it can send data but is it capable of launching the application on my cellphone when a certain signal is sent?

Thats for you to do on the phone, not an Arduino issue.
Yes, I created an application for my phone that is capable of receiving data via my Arduino and bluetooth module. My problem is the application drains the phone battery way too quick and for my alarm function for the application I need my Arduino to send a signal to my phone via the BT module that is capable of opening the application when needed. I am not sure if that is even possible.
Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do and what limitations exist. Keep in mind that people here probably know nothing about Android (?) programming.
For example, what is the purpose of having the Arduino wake up an application on the phone?
Why not have the phone wake up the Arduino?
