Abstract
Systems, device and techniques are disclosed for determining whether a mobile device is in vehicle mode. A notification may be received while the mobile device is in vehicle mode and the notification may be determined to be important or unimportant. If the notification is determined to be important, then the notification may be provided to the user via an output mode (e.g., display or speaker). If the notification is determined to be unimportant, then the notification may not be provided to the user via the display until the mobile device is no longer in vehicle mode.
