In this video, Ill be showing you how a cool new app called Quick Settings Calculator that adds a calculator to Android Nougats pull-down menu.
This is a lot like the calculator button in the iOS Control Center, only better. It uses Nougats new Quick Settings API to create the tile, then uses the new Quick Reply API to let you interact with it. In the end, it puts a calculator in your Quick Settings panel, and you can solve math equations directly from a notification.
For more custom Quick Settings tiles that use Android Nougats new API, make sure to check out the full tutorial on Gadget Hacks.

Manufacturer-skinned versions of Android have this feature already, but not stock Android, nor the majority of AOSP-based ROMs. This module adds an icon to your status bar when you plug in a pair of headphones, then automatically removes it when you unplug. Theres even some theming options, so you can choose the indicator icon yourself.
