1. A method comprising:

  • determining, by a computing device, a first portion of text-based content of a first notification and a second portion of text-based content of the first notification, wherein the first notification is one of one or more notifications received by the computing device;

    responsive to determining that a priority level associated with the first notification does not satisfy a first priority threshold, outputting, by the computing device, for display within a first graphical indication of the first notification, the first portion of text-based content associated with the first notification and not the second portion of text-based content associated with the first notification, wherein the first priority threshold is based on a highest value priority level associated with the one or more notifications, other than the first notification, for which a respective graphical indication is included within the notification center graphical user interface;

    receiving, by the computing device, an indication of a gesture detected at an input device, the gesture corresponding to a command to clear a second notification from the one or more notifications other than the first notification, the second notification having a higher priority level associated with the second notification than the priority level associated with the first notification;

    and after clearing the second notification, determining, by the computing device, a second priority threshold, wherein the second priority threshold is based on a highest value priority level associated with a subset of the one or more notifications other than the first notification, wherein the subset excludes the second notification; and

    responsive to determining that the priority level associated with the first notification satisfies the second priority threshold, outputting, by the computing device, for display within a second graphical indication of the first notification that replaces the first graphical indication of the first notification, the second portion of text-based content associated with the first notification in addition to the first portion of text-based content associated with the first notification, wherein the second graphical indication of the first notification is larger in size than the first graphical indication of the first notification.
