&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;    hvx_params.handle = p_hrs-&amp;gt;hrm_handles.value_handle;
    hvx_params.type   = BLE_GATT_HVX_NOTIFICATION;
    hvx_params.offset = 0;
    hvx_params.p_len  = &amp;amp;hvx_len;
    hvx_params.p_data = encoded_hrm;

    err_code = sd_ble_gatts_hvx(p_hrs-&amp;gt;conn_handle, &amp;amp;hvx_params);
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;sd_ble_gatts_hvx&lt;/code&gt; is used for both indications and notifications, and as you see above, &lt;code&gt;BLE_GATT_HVX_NOTIFICATION&lt;/code&gt; is used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So the answer is &lt;code&gt;notify&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
