1. A dashboard for a vehicle comprising:
- a primary display area;
a secondary display area; and
one or more hardware processors, wherein the one or more hardware processors are in communication with the primary display area and the secondary display area, and wherein the one or more hardware processors are configured to;
(A) determine whether a predefined stationary location of the vehicle is satisfied, the predefined stationary location including an area with traffic and a parking lot, wherein the determination is made based on at least one of;
a vehicle'"'"'s engine state, a vehicle'"'"'s speed, a proximity of the vehicle to a traffic signal junction;
a proximity of the vehicle to the parking lot, or a vehicle'"'"'s gear state;
(B) receive a notification request containing a notification from an application being executed by the one or more hardware processors;
(C) provide the notification using at least one of the primary display area or the secondary display area based on (I) the predefined stationary location of the vehicle being satisfied;
(II) a categorization of the application; and
(III) the application being one of a distracting or a non-distracting application, wherein a distracting application is provided in the secondary display area and a non-distracting application is provided in the primary display area; and
(D) prioritize execution of the application by the one or more hardware processors based on the categorization of the application.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for providing a dashboard for a vehicle having a primary display area and a secondary display area, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more hardware processors causes the one or more hardware processors to:
-
(A) determine whether a predefined stationary location of the vehicle is satisfied, the predefined stationary location including an area with traffic and a parking lot, wherein the determination is made based on at least one of;
a vehicle'"'"'s engine state, a vehicle'"'"'s speed, a proximity of the vehicle to a traffic signal junction;
a proximity of the vehicle to the parking lot, or a vehicle'"'"'s gear state;(B) receive a notification request containing a notification from an application being executed by the one or more hardware processors; (C) provide the notification using at least one of the primary display area or the secondary display area based on (I) the predefined stationary location of the vehicle being satisfied;
(II) a categorization of the application; and
(III) the application being one of a distracting or a non-distracting application, wherein a distracting application is provided in the secondary display area and a non-distracting application is provided in the primary display area; and(D) prioritize execution of the application by the one or more hardware processors based on the categorization of the application.
