extrapolating, with a control unit, an acceptance trend based on the notification.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

receiving the entry includes receiving a category of interest;

identifying the category of interest includes identifying the destination for the category of interest; and

generating the en-route notification includes generating the en-route notification reflecting a travel type related to the destination.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a notification acceptance for the en-route notification;

identifying an intermediate stop for the notification acceptance prior to reaching the destination; and

updating the route for reaching the intermediate stop.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a notification acceptance for the en-route notification;

extrapolating the acceptance trend based on the notification acceptance; and

generating an updated notification based on the acceptance trend for reflecting a travel type related to the destination.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

detecting a non-response for the en-route notification based on meeting or exceeding a time threshold, an occurrence of an event, or a combination thereof; and

generating an updated notification based on the non-response for reflecting a travel type related to the destination.

6. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

receiving an entry for a destination;

identifying a category of interest for the destination;

generating a route to the destination;

identifying a travel type for the destination;

recognizing a traveling context based on the travel type for traveling along the route to the destination;

generating an en-route notification based on matching a delivery profile to the category of interest for traveling within the traveling context;

receiving a notification acceptance for the en-route notification;

extrapolating, with a control unit, an acceptance trend based on the notification acceptance; and

updating the route for reaching an intermediate stop based on the notification acceptance for displaying on a device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

receiving the notification acceptance for the en-route notification; and

generating an updated notification based on the notification acceptance for reflecting a travel type related to the destination.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

receiving a notification rejection for the en-route notification;

extrapolating a rejection trend based on the notification rejection; and

generating an updated notification based on the rejection trend for reflecting a travel type related to the destination.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

receiving a notification rejection for the en-route notification; and

generating an updated notification based on the notification rejection for reflecting a travel type related to the destination.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

detecting a non-response for the en-route notification;

extrapolating a non-response trend based on the non-response; and

generating an updated notification based on the non-response trend for reflecting a travel type related to the destination.

11. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

detecting a non-response for the en-route notification; and

generating an updated notification based on the non-response for reflecting a travel type related to the destination.

12. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

generating a ranking for the en-route notification; and

wherein generating the en-route notification includes generating the en-route notification according to the ranking for meeting a travel type.

13. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

updating the traveling context based on updating the route; and

generating an updated notification based on the traveling context for reflecting a travel type related to the intermediate stop.

14. A navigation system comprising:

a first user interface for receiving an entry for a destination; and

a control unit, coupled to the first user interface, for;

identifying a category of interest for the destination,

generating a route to the destination,

recognizing a traveling context for traveling along the route to the destination,

generating an en-route notification based on matching a delivery profile to the category of interest for traveling within the traveling context for displaying on a device, and

extrapolating an acceptance trend based on the notification.

15. The system as claimed in claim 14 wherein:

the first user interface is for receiving the entry for the category of interest;

the control unit is for;

identifying the destination for the category of interest, and

generating the en-route notification based on the category of interest for reflecting a travel type related to the destination.

16. The system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the control unit is for:

receiving a notification acceptance for the en-route notification;

identifying an intermediate stop for the notification acceptance prior to reaching the destination; and

generating an updated notification based on the intermediate stop for traversing the route for reaching the intermediate stop.

17. The system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the control unit is for:

receiving a notification acceptance for the en-route notification;

extrapolating the acceptance trend based on the notification acceptance; and

generating an updated notification based on the acceptance trend for reflecting a travel type related to the destination.

18. The system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the control unit is for:

detecting a non-response for the en-route notification based on meeting or exceeding a time threshold, an occurrence of an event, or a combination thereof; and

generating an updated notification based on the non-response for reflecting a travel type related to the destination.

19. The system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the control unit is for:

identifying a travel type based on the route;

recognizing a traveling context based on the travel type for traveling along the route to the destination;

receiving a notification acceptance for the en-route notification; and

updating the route for reaching an intermediate stop based on the notification acceptance for displaying on a device.
