Abstract
A method performed by a notification handler process running on a device includes receiving a first push notification for a first application while the recipient device is inactive; determining that delivery of the first push notification would cause the device to become active without prompting a user of the device to interact with the first application; in response to determining what delivery of the first push modification would cause, locally storing the first push notification; receiving a second push notification for a second application while the recipient device is still inactive; determining that delivery of the second push notification would cause the device to become active prompting the user to interact with the second application; and in response to determining what delivery of the second push modification would cause, delivering the received second push notification to the second application and the stored first push notification to the first application.
