  • Method and system for processing notifications amongst applications of a data processing system
    Patent number: 9875150
    Abstract: An application manager of an operating system running within a data processing system receives a request from a first daemon via a first application programming interface (API) to present a notification message to a user. In response, the application manager identifies a first of a plurality of applications that have been installed within the operating system based on a unique identifier extracted from the request. The application manager communicates, via a second API, with the first application to obtain a first view controller handle of a first view controller associated with the first application. The application manager invokes, via the first view controller handle, the first view controller to display the notification message obtained from the request. The first view controller is configured to display the notification message in a manner configured by the first application on a display device associated with a data processing system.
