Abstract
Shutdown notification techniques are described in which notifications associated with various applications and functionality of a device are presented in conjunction with a shutdown sequence. In one or more implementations, a shutdown of the device may be initiated automatically in response to low power conditions, device/application errors, restarts, or explicitly by a user. A notification system of a device may be configured to enable designation of particular notifications to show upon shutdown. Notifications to output at shutdown may be selected based upon various criteria including but not limited to selection based on a perceived importance, notification type, particular application(s), and/or particular user contacts. When a shutdown is initiated, a check is performed to determine whether any designated notifications are available. Then, available notifications may be exposed in various ways prior to complete shutdown, such as by showing the notifications as part of a user interface(s) for the shutdown sequence.
