Abstract
A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product selectively sends notifications to mobile devices. One or more processors receive a token authorization to provide notifications of mobile device events to a set of mobile devices operated by a user, and then determine that a push notification of a mobile device event is to be issued to one or more mobile devices from the set of mobile devices. The processor(s) receive a status of applications running on each of the set of mobile devices and an extent of user engagement for each of the applications. The processor(s) associate a content with the push notification, and parse and evaluate the content. The processor(s) select a mobile device from the set of mobile devices based on the status of the applications, the extent of user engagement, and the parsed evaluated content, and then transmit the push notification to that mobile device.
