plom check out this app called KDE Connect, it's by the KDE folks but can be installed in any distro and in any desktop environment
it connects an android phone to the desktop, transfers files, can see the phone notifications on desktop or pc notifications on phone, calls screening, see battery percentage info, send sms from desktop and a bunch of other features, it's awesome
just run the kde connect app from the Play Store on phone and run the app on desktop, both using the same network connection and pair them
