The <a href="https://material.google.com/patterns/notifications.html">notification system</a>
|
||
allows your app to keep the user informed about events, such as new messages,
|
||
upcoming calendar appointments, shared photos, and much more. They are a
|
||
fundamental feature of Android that consumers check frequently to receive
|
||
important notifications and status updates. Notifications are like a news
|
||
channel that alerts the user to events as they happen and maintains a list of
|
||
updates since last review.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
In addition to status updates from friends and family, notifications can also
|
||
be used to help gamers know when a time-based action is completed or another
|
||
player took their turn.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Some game developers use notifications to alert users
|
||
when a new limited time character can be won or a discount on an in-app
|
||
purchase is available. </p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>But Use Them Sparingly</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Frequent notifications and spam notifications can turn users off, thereby
|
||
risking your ratings and user base. Also sure to check our <a href=
|
||
"https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/4430948">policies</a>
|
||
to ensure you’re treating your user respectfully.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>Tip:</strong>
|
||
Use notifications sparingly — be sure any information presented is
|
||
useful. Give users the option to turn notifications off.
