Revision history [back]

I did a search and was a little surprised this hadn't come up yet.

Notifications aren't handled very effectively yet. An app like Mitakuuluu or the Yahoo! Android app needs to be opened in order to receive notifications. There is a separate app that allows Mitakuuluu to receive notifications, but it only helps for one app.

Furthermore, opening apps after each reboot is a pita. I also don't need those apps to run on the multitasking screen until I receive a notification.

So, I suggest there should be a setting that allows apps to run silently in the background. Preferably, this includes Android apps, making many apps much more useful.

I also suggest that users should be able to whitelist those apps that are allowed to use this service.

Finally, users would be able to select which app handles which type of notification, e.g. Tweetian to handle Twitter notifications in stead of the mobile site in the browser (did find a thread on this final point).
