Hangout like list notification on Android Wear

Hangout use a particular Notification that display the list of messages when swiping right on Android Wear. It shows all the messages in a ListView.

Do they use a particular Notification Style (like InboxStyle or BigTextStyle)? Could it be a Wear App? (I don't think so, they are not accessible throght swiping)

They are adding Pages to their notification, allowing you to add additional content for Android Wear devices.

Example code from the link:

// Create builder for the main notification
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder =
    new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_message)
    .setContentTitle("Page 1")
    .setContentText("Short message")
    .setContentIntent(viewPendingIntent);

// Create a big text style for the second page
BigTextStyle secondPageStyle = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
secondPageStyle.setBigContentTitle("Page 2")
           .bigText("A lot of text...");

// Create second page notification
Notification secondPageNotification =
    new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
    .setStyle(secondPageStyle)
    .build();

// Add second page with wearable extender and extend the main notification
Notification twoPageNotification =
    new WearableExtender()
            .addPage(secondPageNotification)
            .extend(notificationBuilder)
            .build();

// Issue the notification
notificationManager =
    NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
notificationManager.notify(notificationId, twoPageNotification);
