+<p>
+  The <a href="/design/patterns/notifications.html">notification system</a>
+  allows your app to keep the user informed about events, such as new messages,
+  upcoming calendar appointments, shared photos, and much more. They are a
+  fundamental feature of Android that consumers check frequently to receive
+  important notifications and status updates. Notifications are like a news
+  channel that alerts the user to events as they happen and maintains a list of
+  updates since last review.
+</p>
+
+
+
+<p>
+  In addition to status updates from friends and family, notifications can also
+  be used to help gamers know when a time-based action is completed or another
+  player took their turn.</p>
+
+  <p>Some game developers use notifications to alert users
+  when a new limited time character can be won or a discount on an in-app
+  purchase is available. </p>
+
+<h3>But Use Them Sparingly</h3>
+
+<p>
+  Frequent notifications and spam notifications can turn users off, thereby
+  risking your ratings and user base. Also sure to check our <a href=
+  "https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/4430948">policies</a>
+  to ensure you’re treating your user respectfully.

+       Use notifications sparingly &mdash; be sure any information presented is
