1. A method comprising:
- displaying, by a mobile computing device, a graphical user interface including a status area and an application area, wherein the status area includes a plurality of status indicator icons including at least a status indicator icon for signal strength and a status indicator icon for remaining battery power, and wherein the application area includes a graphical user interface for an application;
receiving, by the mobile computing device, a message associated with a messaging application stored at the mobile computing device;
responsive to receiving the message, displaying, by the mobile computing device, an icon and a first level of information for the message visually scrolling within the status area;
receiving, by the mobile computing device, a user input detected at a location of the graphical user interface associated with the icon;
responsive to receiving the user input, displaying, by the mobile computing device, a second level of information associated with the message in a window that visually overlaps a portion of the graphical user interface for the application without causing the messaging application to be launched, the second level of information providing greater detail than the first level of information and including at least a portion of the message.

Abstract
In some implementations, a computer-implemented method of displaying alert information with a mobile communication device includes displaying device status indicators to a user of a mobile device in a status area; receiving information from an application to display an alert in the status area; displaying in the status area a first level of information for the alert and a user-selectable control; and displaying, in response to a selection of the user-selectable control, a second level of information for the alert that provides greater detail than the first level of information.
