Various implementations include audio devices and related computer-implemented methods for controlling playback of augmented reality (AR) audio. Certain implementations include approaches for managing audio notifications at an audio device according to a set of audio notification rules, for example, by delaying release of notifications and/or de-prioritizing notifications based upon the rules.

Various implementations include audio devices and related computer-implemented methods for controlling playback of augmented reality (AR) audio. In some cases, a method includes: receiving a first audio notification from one of a set of applications; determining an importance value for the first audio notification; detecting an activity state of the audio device, the activity state assigned to a notification importance threshold; and either: delaying release of the first audio notification at the audio device in response to the importance value failing to meet the notification importance threshold, or releasing the first audio notification at the audio device in response to the importance value meeting or exceeding the notification importance threshold.
