Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for handling incoming communications. In an implementation, a notification of an incoming communication is received. Duplicate indications of the incoming communication are avoided by determining whether an indication associated with an application will be surfaced. If not, then an indication of the incoming communication may be surfaced in association with another application. However, if the indication associated with the application will be surfaced, then the other notification associated with the other application may be suppressed.
