  • capturing, by a microphone, audio by passively listening to an external environment of a computing device during a pre-determined time period specified by a user of the computing device;

    receiving, by the computing device, a push notification, wherein the push notification includes information sent from an application server to the computing device without a specific request by the user of the computing device;

    responsive to receiving the push notification, determining, by one or more processors, based on a pre-defined set of rules set by the user, that the push notification is to be processed for a determination of whether the push notification is to be presented on the computing device;

    responsive to determining that the push notification is to be processed, determining whether the push notification is to be presented, wherein determining whether the push notification is to be presented comprises;

    identifying, by one or more processors, a keyword contained within the push notification, wherein the keyword is identified using associated content from an external source, wherein the associated content from the external source is selected from the group consisting of closed captions for a broadcast and an associated online resource;

    responsive to identifying the keyword, determining, by one or more processors, that the captured audio includes the keyword identified within the push notification;

    responsive to determining that the captured audio includes the keyword identified within the push notification, analyzing, by one or more processors, a context of the keyword included in the captured audio; and

    responsive to analyzing the context of the keyword included in the captured audio, determining, by one or more processors, whether to present the push notification based on the context of the keyword included in the captured audio; and

    responsive to determining not to present the push notification, preventing, by one or more processors, the push notification from being presented on the computing device.
