Modifying a device notification

1. An apparatus comprising:

a processor;

a memory storing code executable by the processor to:

detect a user awareness indication of a device notification for a device, the user awareness indication comprising identifying a user looking at the device and an increase in a filtered microphone output for the device within a sampling time interval, wherein the device notification occurs within the sampling time interval, a start of the sampling time interval precedes the device notification, and the filtered microphone output is filtered with a difference of a notification signal of the device notification; and

terminate an audio portion of the device notification in response to detecting the user awareness indication and concurrently maintaining a notification response option.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user awareness indication further comprises a change in an acceleration of the device.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user awareness indication further comprises a touch to the device.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user awareness indication further comprises an increase in external illumination for the device with the sampling time interval.

5. A method comprising:

detecting, by use of a processor, a user awareness indication of a device notification for a device, the user awareness indication comprising identifying a user looking at the device and an increase in a filtered microphone output for the device within a sampling time interval, wherein the device notification occurs within the sampling time interval, a start of the sampling time interval precedes the device notification, and the filtered microphone output is filtered with a difference of a notification signal of the device notification; and

terminating an audio portion of the device notification in response to detecting the user awareness indication and concurrently maintaining a notification response option.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the notification response option comprises an option to respond to an incoming call.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the user awareness indication further comprises a change in an acceleration of the device.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the user awareness indication further comprises a touch to the device.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the user awareness indication further comprises an increase in external illumination for the device with the sampling time interval.

10. The method of claim 5 , the method further comprising:

detecting the device notification; and

receiving sensor outputs.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the sensor outputs are one or more of accelerometer outputs, gyroscope outputs, touch screen outputs, camera outputs, and microphone outputs.

12. A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable code executable by a processor to perform:

detecting a user awareness indication of a device notification for a device, the user awareness indication comprising identifying a user looking at the device and an increase in a filtered microphone output for the device within a sampling time interval, wherein the device notification occurs within the sampling time interval, a start of the sampling time interval precedes the device notification, and the filtered microphone output is filtered with a difference of a notification signal of the device notification; and

terminating an audio portion of the device notification in response to detecting the user awareness indication and concurrently maintaining a notification response option.

13. The program product of claim 12 , wherein the user awareness indication further comprises one or more of a change in an acceleration of the device, and a touch to the device.

14. The program product of claim 12 , wherein the user awareness indication further comprises an increase in external illumination for the device with the sampling time interval.
