I figured out how to have WeeChat in [Termux ](https://termux.com/) create a notification on your android device whenever someone mentions your username or you receive a private message.

You need to have [Termux:API](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux.api) installed for this.
`All` you need to do is type following command into WeeChat:

```
/set trigger.trigger.beep.command "/print -beep;/exec -bg termux-notification -t 'IRC Notification' -c "${tg_tag_nick}: ${tg_message_nocolor}";/exec -bg termux-vibrate"
```

### Explanation

Normal WeeChat behavior is to send a BEL character to the terminal whenever someone mentions you or sends you a private message. This extends that with the commands termux-notification and termux-vibrate found in the [Termux:API](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux.api). The content of the notification is ${tg_tag_nick} (which is the user who sent you the message) and ${tg_message_nocolor} (which is the message without coloring). [Here](https://weechat.org/files/doc/devel/weechat_user.en.html#trigger_data_print) you can find more available variables.
