1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a device and using at least two different communication modes, at least two communications from a sender of at least two communications;
determining a notification mode for the device based at least in part on an identity of the sender and on an amount of time elapsed between receipt of each of the at least two communications;
providing, by the device and at a particular frequency, one or more instances of a notification using the determined notification mode; and
increasing the particular frequency at which the notification is provided by the device using the determined notification mode, wherein increasing the frequency comprises reducing an amount of time elapsed between subsequent instances of providing the notification.
