Abstract
A computer and a computer-implemented method with a user interface for displaying and queueing notifications in a multi-purpose application environment are provided. The method includes displaying an application launching interface comprising a plurality of applications in response to a user gesture, wherein the application launching interface is hidden from display prior to the user gesture; displaying a notification associated with one of the plurality of applications to the user; and queueing an action when the user provides a queueing gesture for the notification, wherein the queued action is displayed for later performance when selected by the user. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions which, when performed by a processor in a computer cause the computer to perform a method as above is also provided.
