Abstract
A method to provide notifications to a user. The method includes using a software notification manager in the background to listens, according to user subscriptions, for notification messages sent through one or more messaging networks from multiple network applications. Accordingly, the notification manager gathers notifications and displays them in one place. As a result, the user is no longer required to sift through lots of notifications from his/her email folders or other message windows.
