I still it would be not so useful. But there is some way to do.

Streaming Music from Phone.
If you are using iPhone, shairport-sync and MMM-ShairportMetadata could do that. You can stream your iTunes music to shairport and can show the album cover also on MM.
If you are using Android, you might be able to use Raspicast but As far as I know, there is no MM module for that.
And other stuffs.
Missed calls or charging level, received SMS Information seems not transferrable via BT(or anything else publicly). Those are quite privacy information. If that was possible publicly, There would be many of those kinds of Desktop applications. (Yes, iPhone and OSX could do something. But it’s Apple’s owns)

Or you can just use Multi-pairable BT speaker for MM and your phone also.

Adding to these already good ideas

You could as well install a Spotify Connect Client on Raspbian and then use Spotify connect to send music from the phone to the mirror.
It’s well described. Currently Raspotify seems to work very well.
NOTE: You need spotify premium to use spotify connect.

I really like this idea.
You could use things like IFTTT and/or MQTT for this. Should certainly work. Would publish your battery status consistently and the mirror would use e.g. mosquitto to receive it.
Maybe misse calls as well !?

Ooohhh I smell a new project…

Sorry @j-e-f-f, what do you mean by “…bluetooth beaconing…”?

Basically it’s a way for bluetooth devices to broadcast their proximity to other nearby bluetooth devices.
This should shed some light on it:

There are bluetooth speakers that manage two connections from two different devices? (MM and Smartphone together…)

Sorry for confusing.

Logitech Bluetooth Speaker Adapter might be one of that kind.
But as you know, Multi-pairing doesn’t mean MIXING two output at same time. You should hold one source to use another different source. (And I’m not sure it will be returned magically after occupation from one source is finished.) Many speakers insist switching could be automatically, but I’ve never seen those things as they said still yet.

multi-channel BT mixer connected to one speaker could do, but It might not be your wants.
