Google Calendar for Android updated, now syncs notification dismissal

This is one the smartest updates to be released in while. Google Calendar - which I live off of, might I add - for Android has received a staged roll-out update that intends on adding efficiency to those of us running more than one Android device at a time: multi-device notification dismissal. In English? This means that if you've decided to take your Nexus 4 out for the day and left your Galaxy S 4 at home, or forgot your Nexus 7 tablet on the coffee table when running out in a hurry, you don't have to worry about going through dismissal notifications when you get back. As long as you've updated the app across all devices (staged update means it'll take a bit longer than normal for the app to be available to everyone), every calendar dismissal done on the device in use gets synced to the other stagnant ones at home! The only caveat? And this isn't even the biggest deal: the update will not dismiss notifications for skinned calendar apps on devices like the aforementioned Galaxy S4 or HTC One, of course, so you may just want to fully disable notifications for such apps and use Google Calendar exclusively at this point. I mean, why not?

If you don't have Google Calendar you can download it via Play here. Again, be patient if you don't receive the update; staged ones take longer because they're rolled out sporadically.
