Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for filtering notifications are provided. A notification may be received. A current focus state of a user may be determined. An application priority score for the application that generated the notification may be determined. A notification priority score for the notification may be determined. The notification priority score may be determined based on a contact importance score and/or a content importance score. A combined priority score may be determined from the application priority score and the notification priority score. The notification may be surfaced if the combined priority score meets a threshold surfacing value. The notification may be blocked if the combined priority score does not meet the threshold surfacing value.
