Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling notifications from applications on a user device. The method comprises setting a priority (21) for each application on the user device based on a predetermined priority input, defining (22) a notification limit, wherein the notification limit defines a total number of notifications for presenting notifications allowed during a time period available to applications on the user device, and providing (23) each application with a portion of the total number of notifications allowed during the time period based on the set priority. The invention further relates to computer program product, a computer readable memory storage unit, and a computing arrangement or user device for executing the method.

Method for controlling notifications from applications on a user device, comprising:
- setting a priority for each application on the user device based on a predetermined priority input,
- defining a notification limit, wherein the notification limit defines a total number of notifications for presenting notifications allowed during a time period available to applications on the user device, and
- providing each application with a portion of the total number of notifications allowed during the time period based on the set priority.
A non-transient computer readable medium comprising computer program code that, when executed by a processor, controls notifications from applications on a user device, including:
- sets a priority for each application on the user device based on a predetermined priority input,
- defines a notification limit, wherein the notification limit defines a total number of notifications for presenting notifications allowed during a time period available to applications on the user device, and
- provides each application with a portion of the total number of notifications allowed during the time period based on the set priority.
10-11. (canceled)
An electronic device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transient computer readable medium in the form of a memory that stores computer program code, wherein when the computer program code is executed by the processor, controls notifications from applications on the electronic device, including:
- sets a priority for each application on the electronic device based on a predetermined priority input,
- defines a notification limit, wherein the notification limit defines a total number of notifications for presenting notifications allowed during a time period available to applications on the electronic device, and
- provides each application with a portion of the total number of notifications allowed during the time period based on the set priority.
