It's the same. The watch is not really receiving the data directly, it's mirroring the phone. When it hits the phone it's available on the watch.

Not quite sure your question but any alert that goes to the phone will go to your watch.

Are they the same app? Have you set up notifications in the Watch app on your phone? You would also need to be connected to your phone via Bluetooth or wifi.
