Apps send notifications to alert you about things like new messages, calendar events, and alarms.
You see notifications:

If you receive multiple notifications from an app, they're bundled together. Swipe down to view more details.
Some important notifications pop up briefly over your current app so that you can take action. For example, a
notification for an incoming call might appear while you're watching a video, so that you can answer or dismiss the
call.
