Method, server, and program for managing notification

Abstract

A controller stores a new notification in a storage section when receiving a new notification to a user device. The controller checks, in the storage section, a use status of an application of the user device. The controller determines a notification method for outputting the notification stored in the storage section to an application display of the application when determining that the application is in use based on the use status.

1 . A method for operating a management server comprising a controller having circuitry and a memory with instructions executed by the circuitry that configures the management server to:
 check a use status of a first application in use at a user device;   obtain life status information for a second application that is different than the first application and that is not currently in use at the user device;   detect when the life status information for the second application has reached a predetermined value;   cause the life status information for the second application to be displayed on the user device when detecting the life status information has reached the predetermined value while the first application remains in use at the user device,   wherein the life status information corresponds to a current life level between a minimal life level and maximum life level.
