Bluetooth transmitter activate mobile application

I'm looking for a solution to a problem. I would like to build a bluetooth transmitter that sends one simple message. For this purpose, I would like to write an application for the phone (Android, maybe iOS to), which when it is near the transmitter and receives a message, will launch, read the message and display the GUI to the user. I would rather avoid having to pair these devices (transmitter and telephone). Are there any technologies / solutions that could be used in this type of system?

This sounds like you want a BLE Beacon as your transmitter.

iBeacon is maybe the most known format of these. There are other beacon formats that are open, like Eddystone

Martin Woolley from the Bluetooth SIG has done a few blogs and talks about this topic. Here is one that might be of interest Bluetooth Beacon Applications And Real World Developers Issues
