Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods providing notifications to an application in a background state on a device such as a user device. The device may be resource constrained such as having limited memory, processor, power, or other resources for execution of applications. While in a background state, notifications from other applications may be sent to the application in the background state. To other applications, the application in the background state may appear to be operating in the foreground.
