Here are a few APIs and features of the Android N Developer Preview

Multi-window:The feature will allow developers to set a minimum allowable dimensions and add support for multi-window, allowing Android phones and tablets to run apps side by side.

Direct reply notifications:  Using the “RemoteInput“ API enables users to reply to incoming message notifications quickly and conveniently, without leaving the notification shade.

Bundled notifications: With N, you can group notifications from the same app together – for example individual messages from a messaging app.

It is expected that Android N’s final release version will be out in the summers but no specific date has been announced yet.
