Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an animated notification indicator, which may be used to provide an indication of a notification. The animated notification indicator may be less distracting than displaying the notification itself, while, compared to a static indicator, the animated notification indicator may have a higher likelihood of catching the user's attention. The indicator may be animated for a predetermined amount of time, after which it may transition to a static indicator. Interaction with the indicator may display an associated notification, perform an associated action, or present a notification preview and/or set of quick actions, among other examples. In some instances, a context associated with the user's computing device may be processed by a notification platform, and the notification may thus be determined remotely. As a result, the animated notification indicator may be presented at the user's computing device as a result of such a remote determination.

Abstract: In examples, a notification is presented to a user of a computing device (e.g., based on identifying a trigger associated with a current context or as a result of receiving a push notification). The notification includes notification content and a dismiss user interface (UI) control, which indicates a status of an auto-dismiss timer associated with the notification. If user interaction associated with the notification is identified, the auto-dismiss timer may be paused. The user may actuate the notification to perform an associated action or may actuate the dismiss UI control to manually dismiss the notification (e.g., prior to expiration of the auto-dismiss timer). The notification may further include a snooze UI control, which, when actuated, may snooze the notification and/or future notifications. Thus, such aspects may offer an improved and consistent user experience for notifications associated with an application, a group of applications, or an operating system, among other examples.
