is provided for presentation to the particular user prior to provision of the media content item and without provision of the media content item, and

includes the content-specific keyword generated for the particular user;

attributing the content-specific keyword to a portion of the notification based on storing the content-specific keyword in association with the portion of the notification for the particular user, wherein the portion of the notification is in addition to any portions of the notification that include the content-specific keyword;

subsequent to providing the notification, subsequent to the provided notification being dismissed, and subsequent to attributing the content-specific keyword to the portion of the notification for the particular user:

receiving, from the particular user, user input including one or more spoken terms;

identifying the content-specific keyword attributed to the portion of the notification for the particular user based on one or more of the spoken terms; and

based on identifying the content-specific keyword attributed to the portion of the notification for the particular user:

causing the computing device to automatically provide the media content item to the particular user.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the content- specific keyword is personal to the user and is generated based at least in part on the user's interest associated with the media content item, and wherein an additional keyword, that is personal to an additional user, is generated for the media content item for the additional user, and provided in an additional notification to the additional user.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, by the computing device and based on the notification data, the portion of the notification.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , further comprising:

applying de-spamming logic to the received notification data, wherein the content-specific keyword is generated after application of the de-spamming logic.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating the content-specific keyword for the media content item for the particular user is based at least in part on the particular user's engagement with past notifications.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the association between the content-specific keyword and the portion of the notification is stored for a time period, and wherein the method further comprises:

removing, by the computing device, the association between the content-specific keyword and the portion of the notification from storage after the time period.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein causing the computing device to provide the media content item to the particular user comprises causing the computing device to provide the media content item to the particular user without requiring the user to view a record of the notification.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the portion of the notification provided to the particular user further includes a thumbnail image representation of the media content item.

9. A system for providing content using notifications with content-specific keywords, the system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memory devices, the one or more memory devices storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving, from a server of a software application associated with a computing device of a particular user, notification data indicating that a media content item is available for the particular user, wherein the media content item is a video;

identifying the media content item based on the notification data;

generating a content-specific keyword for the media content item for the particular user of the computing device;

providing, by the computing device of the user, a notification to the particular user indicating that the media content item is currently accessible by the particular user, wherein the notification:

is provided for presentation to the particular user prior to provision of the media content item and without provision of the media content item, and

includes the content-specific keyword generated for the particular user;

attributing the content-specific keyword to a portion of the notification based on storing the content-specific keyword in association with the portion of the notification for the particular user, wherein the portion of the notification is in addition to any portions of the notification that include the content-specific keyword;

subsequent to providing the notification, subsequent to the provided notification being dismissed, and subsequent to attributing the content-specific keyword to the portion of the notification for the particular user:

receiving, from the particular user, user input including one or more spoken terms;

identifying the content-specific keyword attributed to the portion of the notification for the particular user based on one or more of the spoken terms; and

based on identifying the content-specific keyword attributed to the portion of the notification for the particular user:

causing the computing device to automatically provide the media content item to the particular user.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the content-specific keyword is personal to the user and is generated based at least in part on the user's interest associated with the media content item, and wherein an additional keyword, that is personal to an additional user, is generated for the media content item for the additional user, and provided in an additional notification to the additional user.

11. The system of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:

generating, by the computing device and based on the notification data, the portion of the notification.

12. The system of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:

applying de-spamming logic to the received notification data, wherein the content-specific keyword is generated after application of the de-spamming logic.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein generating the content-specific keyword for the media content item for the particular user is based at least in part on the particular user's engagement with past notifications.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the association between the content- specific keyword and the portion of the notification is stored for a time period, and wherein the method further comprises:

removing, by the computing device, the association between the content-specific keyword and the portion of the notification from storage after the time period.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein causing the computing device to provide the media content item to the particular user comprises causing the computing device to provide the media content item to the particular user without requiring the user to view a record of the notification.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the portion of the notification provided to the particular user further includes a thumbnail image representation of the media content item.

17. One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
