Future of Android Notifications with BuzzBox SDK

Hi Everyone,

I've just published slides about what we are working on in the BuzzBox SDK.  The 2 major additions are a Notification Feed in each app and a Smart Notification Engine.  http://www.slideshare.net/BuzzBoxSDK/buzzbox-sdk   Take a look at the later slides for our future direction.  We are looking for guidance from the developer community on what they think of it.  It's your chance to influence our direction.

Notification Feed
The Notification Feed is feed of all the notifications sent from the app to the system.  This allows users to come back to missed notifications.  It's a great way to get more engagement from users.

Smart Notification Engine
The Smart Notification Engine will optimize the notifications sent to the user.  We have a few ideas here but again wanted our community to give us feedback on what they'd like.  We know everyone wants notifications, but too many can overwhelm the user and be a reason to uninstall the app. 

We've made the slides public to encourage a conversation on the future of Notifications on Android. This is our view and we'd love feedback from people.

Thanks
Anu, Roberto & Walter
