This will do it but it would show her notifications on the TV so when you text her the notifications will show on the shield tv, you can set up multiple devices I believe too. Pretty sure you can also whitelust the apps you want notifications from and block the rest
I really like Notifications for Android TV. It's pretty simple, it pops up notifications from your phone on your TV.
Haystack TV is also a pretty cool news app, kinda like your own personalized news channel.
If you have an Android TV, you can use an app like Notifications for Android TV to display the text of the notification. Maybe similar apps for other smart TV platforms.
The app is well done, and can also display images from notifications...which would be really nice if Ring provided notification images like many, if not most, other doorbell/camera systems do.
All of my TV's are Android based, so Fire Sticks or Chromecasts. I just downloaded Notifications for Android TV on the Fire Sticks/Chromecasts and configured the HA addon. Then, HA exposes a notify service that you can use to send notifications.
If you have an Android TV you can use Notifications for Android TV. Works great with Home Assistant!
I just straight up take calls on my laptops/desktops sometimes when my phone is charging and I can't be assed to go get it. It's a nice feature.
I take it one step further and have notifications also go to my TVs:

- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cyberdream.firenotifications.google
Obviously it'd be nicer if Fi/Hangouts did this natively but it does the trick; especially when I leave my phone in the car (ugh!) and I'm in the middle of a movie, then I can just grab any device in the house and respond and not have to care if it's a phone or not.
You can use this app to show your nest notifications from your phone onto your TV.

Not the same but at least you know when you get ring alerts.
If you get an android tv, there's an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cyberdream.androidtv.notifications.google&hl=en_US&gl=US
Also curious about this. From what I've read, maybe you can give a voice command to show the feed on the tv. Better would be if you could automatically have the doorbell video feed pop up if someone rings (or motion detection if you choose). Don't think this is easily possible. I did find a 3rd party app that mirrors notifications of your choosing from your phone to your android tv. Just played around with it so far and it seems like it could work. Not sure if it will show the video or not but it has showed notifications on my tv so far (text format notifications).
For those with Nvidia Shield TV, you can use this to display a notification in the corner of your TV showing a movie was added, with the poster and everything. You need this app too, though.
There is a app to receive phone notifications on your tv.
Couldn't find the answer to this so I downloaded the app notifications for android TV https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cyberdream.androidtv.notifications.google&hl=en_US and set it up to do so. My desire initially came from wanting my doorbell alerts to pop up on the tv when it sensed movement. I set it up to only follow alerts that contain the right criteria. It was a little bit of a pain. Hopefully someone can come up with something better. I'd love to know as well...
The only thing I could think of for this is Tasker and AutoApps- AutoNotification, AutoRemote, and possibly AutoCast. Install the apps on your phone and Android TV (side load), and then you'll need to setup notification intercepts for ongoing, that says basically "if hangouts, voice, or phone call -> send notification data through autoremote to this device [TV] -> [TV] upon receiving notification command "VoIPcall" split variable, get info -> AutoNotification throw notification on screen. You may want to test it with the flash toast message, not sure if Android TV has heads up notifiations. Additionally, you could make a Tasker scene that you can throw the data into.
Would be a fun project, I have a Wear watch, so I get all notifications and calls on that. Doing all of this, you'd have to be pretty tech savvy.
Or, if you do a bit of Googling "phone notifications on android tv" you can find some things of use. I just found this app, try and see if it works.
There are 2 things:
I get a phonecall -> Kodi + yatse
Washing machine ready? Door open and heating is on? etc. ->
I have a Sony tv which runs on android and I installed this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cyberdream.androidtv.notifications.google
and then add this to your config:
- platform: nfandroidtv name: TVBericht host: IPADDRESS
Then you can use it for any text notification.

Which is not ideal, you need an Android phone on your wifi and this basically mirrors that. It's unreliable for me (oops, forgot to switch my phone to wifi, etc), but it's currently the best solution I've found so far.
What for? If I recall correctly, Android TV doesn't have a notification system, so it wouldn't be very useful. Most of what you want to send to it will be castable using Google Cast. If you want to mirror notifications to your Nexus Player, there's an app for that.
I'm using an android device (CCWGTV) and the app (Notifications for AndroidTV)
