Abstract:

A computing device is described that receives, from a source, a notification. The computing device determines content of the notification other than a quantity of notifications currently pending for the source of the notification and based at least in part on the content, determines a notification badge that reflects the content of the notification. The device displays the notification badge near a graphical element for launching the source of the notification. In reflecting content of the notification, the badge icon may facilitate efficient interaction with the computing device by resolving one or more ambiguities that would otherwise arise.

Abstract:

In general, techniques of this disclosure may enable a computing device to defer output of a reengagement type notification until the computing device determines that a user is likely to engage with the application or service that generated the notification, as opposed to ignoring or dismissing the notification and/or the application or service. In this way, by precisely controlling its output, the described techniques may enable a computing device to increase a likelihood that a reengagement notification will succeed in reengaging a user with the application or service associated with the notification.
