A system for notification interaction in a touchscreen user interface, the computer system comprising:

• one or more computer processors, one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to monitor a user interaction with a current application via the touchscreen user interface;
• program instructions to prepare, by a computer processor, a notification display for an event occurring on the computing device to be displayed on top of the current application;
• program instructions to recognize that the notification display for the event is about to be displayed as a notification display on top of the current application in use by the user, wherein a notification for display is recognized by at least one of a group consisting of:
• the current application, a secondary application, or the operating system resident on the computer processor;
• program instructions to determine one or more distinct user interactions for input to the notification display based on a set of rules, wherein the set of rules determines the one or more distinct user interactions that are different from the monitored user interaction with the current application;
• program instructions to select a distinct user interaction within the one or more distinct user interactions for input by the user to the notification display that is distinct from the monitored user interaction with the current application;
• and
