Android offer helper for Spark drivers

LumosWS runs on the same Android phone as Spark. It is built for drivers who want offer alerts, filter checks, scrolling, taps, and history handled locally without handing over a Spark login. The Android setup matters because the helper can only work well when the phone is allowed to hear alerts, read visible offer cards, and stay awake during a shift.

The two Android permissions that matter

LumosWS needs two visible Android permissions. Notification access lets it hear Spark alerts. Accessibility access lets it read visible offer cards, scroll the offer queue, and tap after your rules match. Both permissions stay on the driver's phone and can be turned off in Android settings.

  1. Notification access: catches the moment Spark sends an offer alert.
  2. Accessibility access: checks the current screen and performs local Android actions.
  3. Battery settings: keep Android from putting the helper to sleep during a shift.
  4. Restricted settings: unlock the Accessibility toggle after installing the direct APK.

Why this is Android-only

This kind of offer helper depends on Android notification and accessibility workflow. iPhone does not expose the same screen-level workflow for this use case, so LumosWS is focused on Android phones used by Spark drivers. A dedicated shift phone or a well-maintained primary Android phone is usually easier to keep stable than a device loaded with aggressive battery cleanup tools.

Install: Use the APK install guide if Android blocks restricted settings or Accessibility access.

Account and privacy boundary

LumosWS does not ask for your Spark username, Spark password, bank login, or card number. The helper works with Android permissions on your phone, while the Spark account itself stays in the official Spark app. That boundary is one of the main differences between a local Android offer helper and risky cloud account tools.

Driver rule: Keep account credentials out of any offer helper. Local Android workflow is easier to understand and easier to shut off if you want to pause the tool.

How the helper fits the offer flow

The Android offer helper is not a separate market or dispatch system. It sits next to your normal Spark workflow and helps evaluate what is already visible on your phone. The driver still owns the rules: payout, miles, dollars per mile, stores, order types, and when to pause automation.

  1. Spark sends an offer notification.
  2. LumosWS wakes and checks the visible offer screen.
  3. Your payout, distance, dollars-per-mile, store, and order rules are applied.
  4. If several cards are available, LumosWS can scroll and compare.
  5. The app accepts, skips, or records the decision based on your setup.

Workflow: For accepting logic, read auto accept Spark offers.

Pre-shift phone checklist

Most setup problems are boring Android problems: a blocked permission, battery saver, notification setting, old APK, or Spark running on a different phone. Check the phone before a busy period so you are not debugging while high-paying offers are moving.

  1. Open LumosWS and confirm both permissions are green.
  2. Open Spark on the same Android phone.
  3. Check that Spark notifications are allowed and Do Not Disturb is off.
  4. Turn off battery restrictions for LumosWS if your phone is aggressive.
  5. Run the first few offers with the screen visible so you can confirm behavior.

Android setup FAQ

What if Accessibility is greyed out?

Open Android Settings, Apps, LumosWS, then use the 3-dot menu to allow restricted settings. After that, return to Accessibility and turn LumosWS on.

What if LumosWS does not hear offers?

Check Notification access, Spark notification settings, Do Not Disturb, battery saver, and whether Spark is installed on the same Android phone.

Can I use it without auto accept?

The value is still the same rule workflow: alerts, visible offer checks, skips, and history. Auto accept should only be enabled when your filters are clear and tested.

Can I turn permissions off?

Yes. Turn off Notification access or Accessibility access in Android settings whenever you want to pause the helper, troubleshoot setup, or stop local screen actions.
