In some implementations, a mobile device can be configured to monitor environmental, system and user events. The occurrence of one or more events can trigger adjustments to system settings. In some implementations, the mobile device can be configured to keep frequently invoked applications up to date based on a forecast of predicted invocations by the user. In some implementations, the mobile device can receive push notifications associated with applications that indicate that new content is available for the applications to download. The mobile device can launch the applications associated with the push notifications in the background and download the new content. In some implementations, before running an application or accessing a network interface, the mobile device can be configured to check energy and data budgets and environmental conditions of the mobile device to preserve a high quality user experience.

Systems and methods are described for communicating between VoIP applications installed on a mobile computing device and their corresponding servers using a cloud-based notification infrastructure. In one aspect, a method is performed by a notification handler executing on a mobile computing device and includes the actions of maintaining a persistent network connection between the notification handler and a notification server associated with the notification handler; receiving, over the persistent network connection, an incoming call notification for a VoIP application installed on the mobile computing device, the received incoming call notification being relayed by the notification server from a VoIP server to which the VoIP application is associated; determining, in response to the receiving of the incoming call notification, that the VoIP application is in an inactive state; and activating the VoIP application on the mobile computing device to provide information relating to the received incoming call notification.
