Google Now adds third-party app support for Android

The Google Now cards are quiet handy for pulling up contextual notifications. But it has always been limited to Google services—until today that is. Now, they’ve added support for 40 third-party apps on Android, including Ford, Pandora, Lyft, Airbnb, Duolingo, and others.
