Notifications are the digital taps on the shoulder that keep us informed, engaged, and, at times, perhaps a little overwhelmed. At a high level, a notification is a message or alert sent by a software application to a user. These can appear on your phone, computer, smartwatch, or any other connected device. Their fundamental purpose is to convey timely information, prompt an action, or provide an update without requiring the user to be actively using the application at that moment. From a simple email alert to a sophisticated, context-aware ping on your wearable device, notifications are a ubiquitous feature of our digital lives.
