Last summer an intern named Robert Bindar (working with James Burke) did a prototype of this [2], which seemed to work pretty well. The problem with notifications is they are essentially orphaned, meaning there is no owner both from a product and engineering standpoint right now. This is sad because Google has been working hard with us to expand their capabilities spec wise, but we just haven't been able to keep up implementation wise. I would love to see a refocus on this, since notifications are one of the things that makes the mobile experience great. > RE: Task manager > A "Close All" button would be very appreciated IMO, Orange did implement > that in the Klif device with FFOS 2.0. Awesome! Can you provide a screenshot of what that looked like? 1.) https://notifications.spec.whatwg.org/#actions 2.) https://air.mozilla.org/robert_bindar/
