The method includes collecting for each instance the notifications corresponding to the separate sets of events, rendering in the active instance the active instance notifications using a first display mode, while rendering the other instance notifications using a second display mode. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for presenting notifications on an electronic device partitioned into two or more distinct instances, each instance being aware of separate sets of events associated to applications running in that instance, the method comprising: collecting for each instance the notifications corresponding to the separate sets of events, and rendering in an active one of the instances the notifications of the active instance using a first display mode, while rendering the notifications of the other instance using a second display mode. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein rendering the instance notifications using the first or second display mode comprises a preliminary act of: presenting the number of collected notifications. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method according to claim 2, wherein the act of presenting the number of collected notifications for each instance comprises presenting said number using one distinct or common selectable element. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, the act of the rendering the notifications of the active instance further comprising rendering metadata associated to the notifications for the active instance upon selection of a corresponding one of the distinct selectable elements. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, the act of the rendering the notifications of the other instance further comprising rendering metadata associated to the applications that caused the separate sets of events in the other instance upon selection of a corresponding one of the distinct selectable elements. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the notifications are associated to different categories, the rendering of the instance notifications using the first or display mode comprising the acts of: presenting the number of collected notifications per category. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the first display mode is different from the second display mode. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7, wherein each notification in the two or more distinct instances comprises metadata associated to at least one of an event or the associated application, the first display mode comprising displaying more metadata than the second display mode. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein one or more of the notifications comprise an active link element, the second display mode comprising deactivating the link element. ### Claim 10 A non-transitory storage medium comprising a computer program product recorded thereon and executable by a processor in the form of a software agent including at least one software module with instructions configured to implement a method for presenting notifications on an electronic device partitioned into two or more distinct instances, each instance being aware of separate sets of events associated to applications running in that instance, the instructions comprising: instructions that configure the processor to collect for each instance the notifications corresponding to the separate sets of events, and instructions that configure the processor to render in an active one of the instances the notifications of the active instance using a first display mode, while rendering the notifications of the other instance using a second display mode. ### Claim 11 A electronic device comprising: two or more distinct, partitioned instances, each instance being aware of separate sets of events associated to applications running in that instance; and a processor configured to: collect for each instance the notifications corresponding to the separate sets of events, and render in an active instance one of the instances the notifications of the active instance using a first display mode, while rendering the notifications of the other instance using a second display mode.
