A Notification API designed for mobile applications enables developers to send real-time notifications directly to users' mobile devices. These notifications help keep users engaged by delivering updates, or reminders, ensuring they remain informed about important activities related to the app. By integrating the Notification API, mobile apps can send push notifications to enhancing the user experience with relevant information delivered instantly.
