System and method for providing notifications on a mobile computing device

A computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a display screen;
• and
• a memory for storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
• detect multiple notifications generated by an application operating on the computing device;
• present a group notification representation for the multiple notifications generated by the application on a portion of the display screen, the group notification representation including a counter indicating a number of the multiple notifications that have not been viewed or acted upon;
• and
• decrement the counter based, at least in part, on a first user interaction with the portion of the display screen.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• detecting multiple notifications generated by an application operating on the computing device;
• presenting a group notification representation for the multiple notifications on a portion of a display screen of the computing device, the group notification representation including a counter indicating a number of the multiple notifications that have not been viewed or acted upon;
• and
• decrementing the counter based, at least in part, on a first user interaction with the portion of the display screen.
