Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for handling notifications. An instruction from the user is received to redirect notifications to alternative computing device(s). After a notification (e.g., operating system update) is received from a computing device (e.g., computing device of the presenter of an electronic presentation), the notification is queued. A graphical representation of the notification is saved as an image and the action buttons within the notification are translated into textual actions. The image of the graphical representation of the notification and the textual actions are sent to the alterative computing device(s), such as via MMS. In this manner, notifications are prevented from being displayed and interrupting the user, such as a presenter of a presentation, by redirecting such notifications to an alternative computing device. Furthermore, in this manner, the user of the alternative device is able to respond to the notification via SMS.
