Cross-device notifications

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

• detecting an event at a first client device associated with a user account;
• providing a first indication of the event to a server, wherein when characteristics of the detected event match at least one selection criterion, the server provides the first indication of the event to a second client device associated with the user account, wherein the first indication of the event includes a reference to an image, and the second client device retrieves the image from a remote cache based on the reference and displays a notification including the image, the displayed notification including the image provides a visual indication of a second user account associated with the event, the second user account being different than the user account and associated with a different device than the first client device and the second client device;
• receiving a second indication including an action that is to be performed with respect to the event detected at the first client device, the second indication generated upon an interaction with the displayed notification including the image at the second client device;
• and
• managing the event at the first client device based on the action.

A system comprising:

• a memory comprising instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
• receive a first indication of an event detected at a first client device associated with a user account;
• determine one or more characteristics of the event based on the first indication of the event;
• detect whether the determined characteristics match at least one selection criterion;
• identify one or more client devices associated with the user account;
• broadcast the first indication of the event, when the determined characteristics match the at least one selection criterion, to the one or more client devices associated with the user account,
• wherein the first indication of the event includes a reference to an image, and at least one client device from the one or more client devices retrieves the image from a remote cache based on the reference and displays a notification including the image, the displayed notification including the image provides a visual indication of a second user account associated with the event, the second user account being different than the user account and associated with a different device than the first client device and the at least one client device, and
• wherein the broadcasted first indication of the event is simultaneously displayed, in real time, at the one or more client devices to allow management of the event at the first client device from any of the one or more client devices;
• receive a second indication including an action that is to be performed with respect to the event detected at the first client device, the second indication generated upon an interaction with the displayed notification including the image at any of the one or more client devices;
• and
• transmit the action to the first client device, wherein the event is managed at the first client device based on the action.
