You can browse the latest earthquake information in Japan on your Android
smartphones.
Although it is still in the experimental stage, you will also be able to
receive the latest earthquake information with the push notification
feature. However the feature does not guarantee that you will receive
notifications for all earthquakes. Please make sure you use it as substitute
tool when there is no alternative way to find the latest information. You
need to activate this feature first from Setting.
Please note that all the information for recent earthquakes shown in our
lists and push notifications are our initial findings. They may be different
from official information.
About KeepAlive interval
Please try not to change the settings from default. If you change it, push
notifications might fail to reach to your mobile or the battery could run
out faster.
If your router has NAT timer, NAPT, or TCP timer setting, making Wi-Fi
KeepAlive value about 1 minute smaller than the router's setting could
decrease use of the battery.
About current location issue
There is a chance the distance between your location and the epicentre is
not shown. This is because this app estimates the distance based on your
last location being recognized by Android. So if you have never used apps
which require GPS, your current location cannot be recognized and you will
receive alerts for all areas. The positioning process takes time and
positioning after receiving our alert is too late to reflect your location
on our information.

警告音の変更ができないとか、細かいバグが多い気がします。 警告音やはり精神的にも変更したいので、その点が解消されればプッシュ型警報としてはベスト。期待しています。

As Softbank banned all Androids from its Earthquake info, this is a only alternative.However, alerts aren't accurate at all in Chiba. Ios app better.

The big quake from this morning still isn't on the list. I get this is experimental, but when you can't even predict earthquakes in the past, well...

Complements Galaxy S with no builtin quake warning capability for living in Japan. Great free app, always improving but eats battery, but that's life

Very unreliable. Not updated information, no alerts or late notification. Xperia acros.
