Systems and methods for intelligent application notification management

A communication device including a notification management system, the communication device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storage storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• filter notifications to be displayed on a user interface of the communication device so as to modulate display of the notifications on the user interface, wherein to filter the notifications to be displayed on the user interface of the communication device, the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• determine whether a new notification has been received by the communication device from an external server, wherein the new notification is generated by the external server for remote display on the user interface of the communication device,
• in response to determining that the new notification has been received, determine whether the new notification can be added to a notification queue based on a maximum number of notifications allowed within a period of time,
• in response to determining that the new notification can be added, add the new notification to the notification queue, and
• modify the notification queue, wherein to modify the notification queue, the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• determine whether the new notification can be combined with an existing notification in the notification queue based on a user preference, a system state, and whether an application to which the notification is related is currently active, and
• in response to determining that the new notification can be combined, combine the new notification with the existing notification;
• and
• display, on the user interface, one of the notifications stored in the notification queue based on the modification of the notification queue.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a method for notification management, the method comprising:

• filtering, on a communication device, notifications to be displayed on a user interface of the communication device so as to modulate display of the notifications on the user interface, wherein filtering the notifications to be displayed on the user interface of the communication device comprises:
• determining, on the communication device, whether a new notification has been received by the communication device from an external server, wherein the new notification is generated by the external server for remote display on the user interface of the communication device,
• in response to determining that the new notification has been received, determining, on the communication device, whether the new notification can be added to a notification queue based on a maximum number of notifications allowed within a period of time, wherein the notification queue stores one or more existing notifications,
• in response to determining that the new notification can be added, adding, on the communication device the new notification to the notification queue, and
• modifying, on the communication device, the notification queue, wherein modifying the notification queue comprises:
• determining whether the new notification can be combined with an existing notification in the notification queue based on a user preference, a system state, and whether an application to which the notification is related is currently active, and
• in response to determining that the new notification can be combined, combining the new notification with the existing notification;
• and
• displaying, on the user interface, one of the notifications stored in the notification queue based on the modification of the notification queue.
