Abstract
In a system for preventing duplicate notifications including a processor and a computer-readable medium in communication with the processor, the computer-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor alone or in combination with other processors to control the system to perform operating first and second applications associated with a same user account; receiving one or more notifications indicating an occurrence of an event associated with the user account; determining, based upon a communication received from the first application or based upon a focus status of the first application, whether the first application has displayed or will display the first indication via the user interface; and responsive to determining that the first application has displayed or will display the first notification, suppressing output of the second notification by the second application via the user interface.
