I'm pretty new to development for mobile devices (ie: cell phones) and bluetooth so please bear with me.

I'd like to know if this is currently technically possible. I'd like a certain device (lets say a computer) to send a bluetooth signal to a nearby cell phone (or any similar device). When the phone receives the signal, a Java app would take over the screen and display some information (based on what was sent from the computer). This would most likely imply that the Java app would always be running in background on the phone.

Am I 20 years ahead of my time or this is already possible?

Thanks!
