Managing notifications across multiple devices

A computer implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, on a client device, a silent notification having instructions to modify a notification that is equivalent to another notification that has been previously modified on another client device, the silent notification including content and a desired action;
• matching the content with one of a plurality of notifications of the client device, the plurality of notifications being different than the notification;
• and
• performing the desired action on the matched notification.

A computer implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, from a sending device, a silent notification for delivery at a receiving device;
• routing the silent notification to the receiving device;
• waiting a predefined period of time to receive an acknowledgment in response to routing the silent notification;
• storing the silent notification in a storage when the predefined period of time elapses;
• detecting the presence of the receiving device;
• and
• rerouting the silent notification to the receiving device in response to the detection.

A system, comprising:

• a plurality of client devices related to a user account, each of the plurality of client devices having a persistent push token to uniquely identify a client device;
• an identity service configured to return the persistent push tokens of the plurality of client devices in response to a query for the user account;
• and
• a push notification service configured to route a silent notification from a first client device to a second client device according to the persistent push token of the second client device, the silent notification being configured to modify a notification stored on the second client device that was generated outside of the system.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions therein, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:

• detecting, on a client device, a modification event associated with a first notification on the client device;
• determining a user ID associated with the client device;
• transmitting, to an identity service, a request for another client device associated with the user ID;
• receiving a push token for addressing the another client device associated with the user ID;
• generating a silent notification having instructions to modify a second notification on the another client device, the second notification having the same content as the first notification;
• and
• transmitting the silent notification from the client device to the another client device, according to the push token.
