Abstract

Controlling notifications based on an importance of the notifications to users is described. A service provider can receive notifications. The service provider can determine an order for sending the notifications based partly on priority levels assigned to the notifications and positions associated with presentations of the notifications. The service provider can send a first notification to at least one device in a first period of time. The service provider can determine that sending a second notification causes a conflict with a presentation policy. Accordingly, the service provider can determine a second period of time subsequent to the first period of time to send the second notification to the at least one device based partly on a lapse of a predetermined amount of time and/or an occurrence of an event, and can send the second notification to the at least one device in the second period of time.
