Google is leaving no stone unturned to promote its Android Wear software project that extends Android to wearable devices. The search giant has released video tutorials for developers on YouTube, clearly aimed at attracting more to the new Android Wear ecosystem.

The new YouTube video named - "DevBytes - Android Wear: Page Notifications" by a developer advocate, Wayne Piekarski shows ability to add extra pages to existing notifications. Further, the video also shows that the Android Wear will allow users to see more details by swiping on the smartwatch display.

In addition, another Google developer advocate, Timothy Jordan has also shared notifications from Android Wear on Google+. The notifications show a Nest panic warning message; a regular Calendar notification about an event, a pop up message from a game (Clash of Clans), and Pocket Casts playing (podcast) of StarShipSofa science fiction.

In March, Google unveiled plans to help develop the watches and other wearable computers based on its own Android operating system. It's worth pointing out that Google revealed that it has been working with various brands such as Asus, HTC, LG, Motorola and Samsung to bring watches powered by Android Wear later this year. The Mountain View giant had also announced that it has been closely working with chip makers like Broadcom, Imagination, Intel, Mediatek and Qualcomm; even fashion brands like the Fossil Group for upcoming smartwatches based on Android Wear.

Motorola's Moto 360 and LG's G Watch are the first two devices to run Google's new Android Wear. LG announced that it would introduce its G Watch in the second quarter, while Motorola confirmed that its Moto 360 Android watch would be available by summer.
