Abstract: A method implemented by a computing device is disclosed. The method includes: detecting a change in state of an application that is managed using an applications manager, the change in state being based on a first action within the applications manager; in response to detecting the change in state of the application: identifying at least one list of a plurality of application event listings stored on the computing device independently of the applications manager; determining that the at least one list includes one or more first application event listings associated with the application; and in response to determining that the at least one list includes the one or more first application event listings: determining a second action to apply to only the one or more first application event listings; and applying the second action to the one or more first application event listings.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to generate unified data on an electronic device. In some aspects, a request for unified data is received at a unified content provider and from an application. Both the unified content provider and the application are associated with a first container on an electronic device. The requested unified data is determined to include data associated with a second container on the electronic device. A request for the data associated with the second container is sent. The data associated with the second container is received. The unified data is generated based on the data associated with the second container and data associated with the first container. The generated unified data is sent to the application.

Abstract: A system and method of resuming media playback on a mobile device can include playing media on a mobile device and outputting audio associated with the playing media to an audio output device. The media can be paused in response to receiving an interrupt request. A play request can be received to resume playing of the media on the mobile device. A determination can be made as to whether the audio output device is communicatively coupled to the mobile device. The media can resume play in response to the audio output device being communicatively coupled to the mobile device. In another implementation, media can resume play if a determination is made that the audio output device outputting the audio associated with the media before the interrupt request is the same audio output device that will output audio associated with the media after the interrupt request.

Abstract: An application programming interface (API) includes an interface implemented by a software program or firmware program which enables an application to interact with other software or with firmware. An API can facilitates interaction between different software programs. Registration of an application can be the notification, by an API which corresponds to a non-native application, to native applications and to a core search framework of a mobile communications device. A core search framework provides a mechanism which enables an application to register as a provider of searchable data. A media application provides a search API media subset which enables non-native applications to register and enables non-native applications to indicate media type categories for which non-native applications may be searched. Registered non-native applications are launched based upon the type of media utilized by a media application.
