Notifications are messages that appear on your device screen. Apps use notifications to remind you of new and/or upcoming information such as:

  • a calendar appointment
  • a new text or email message
  • breaking news

You can even get delivery notifications with pictures from Amazon.

Notifications include the app icon, app name, and a message. They typically appear on the lock screen and at the top of the screen when the device is unlocked.
