Notification bundles for affinities between notification data

A computing device comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• and
• a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to:
• receive, at a notification component that manages notifications at the computing device, first notification data from a first application of the computing device and second notification data from a second application of the computing device;
• generate, based at least in part on comparing the first notification data to the second notification data, an affinity score that indicates whether content from the first notification data has a relationship to at least a portion of content from the second notification data;
• responsive to determining that the affinity score satisfies a threshold, generate a bundle notification graphical element that includes at least a portion of the content from the first notification data, the bundle notification graphical element further being accompanied by a graphical indicator that indicates the content from the first notification data is related to at least the portion of the content from the second notification data;
• and
• output, for display, a set of notification graphical elements comprising the bundle notification graphical element accompanied by the graphical indicator, and the set of notification graphical elements comprising at least one other singular notification graphical element that represents a third, single instance of notification data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor of a computing device to:

• receive, at a notification component that manages notifications at the computing device, first notification data from a first application of the computing device and second notification data from a second application of the computing device;
• generate, based at least in part on comparing the first notification data to the second notification data, an affinity score that indicates whether content from the first notification data has a relationship to at least a portion of content from the second notification data;
• responsive to determining that the affinity score satisfies a threshold, generate a bundle notification graphical element that includes at least a portion of the content from the first notification data, the bundle notification graphical element further being accompanied by a graphical indicator that indicates the content from the first notification data is related to at least the portion of the content from the second notification data;
• and
• output, for display, a set of notification graphical elements comprising the bundle notification graphical element accompanied by the graphical indicator, and the set of notification graphical elements comprising at least one other singular notification graphical element that represents a third, single instance of notification data.
