Abstract: Notifications are provided intelligently to reduce the number of messages displayed for a notification received by multiple applications. When an originating notification intended for a particular end user is received at a notification server, applications associated with that end user and registered for that type of notification are identified. The identified applications are grouped by device identifier. A subset of a single or a few target applications is selected for each group, while all other applications are considered as non-target applications. A notification for each target application is generated with a notification payload set to display a message, while a notification for each non-target application is generated with a notification payload set not to display a message. As such, when a user device receives multiple notifications for the same originating notification, the user device displays messages only for a single target application or a few target applications.
