6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the displaying in the third screen region the application icon of the at least one target application, the method further comprises:

receiving a sliding operation in a preset direction at a preset speed which is inputted by the user in the third screen region; and

closing an application corresponding to the application icon displayed in the third screen region, according to the sliding operation.

7. A mobile terminal, comprising a processor, a memory, and a program stored in the memory and executable by the processor, wherein the program, when being executed by the processor, configures the processor to:

receive a first operation inputted by a user; and

display, in a third screen region, an icon corresponding to a notification message, content of a notification message, or an application icon of at least one target application, in response to the first operation;

wherein the third screen region is a bending region between a first screen region and a second screen region of a flexible screen of the mobile terminal, or the third screen region is a region between a first screen region and a second screen region of the mobile terminal that are obtained from split-screen display;

wherein the processor is configured to:

display in the third screen region in response to the first operation, an application icon of at least one application which is running in the background, an application icon of at least one application whose duration of running in the foreground is longer than a preset duration, and an application icon of at least one application whose number of running in the foreground is greater than a preset number of threshold.

8. The mobile terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the first operation inputted by the user, wherein the first operation indicates performing display in the first screen region and/or the second screen region.

9. The mobile terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to:

display terminal information in the third screen region in response to the first operation, wherein the terminal information comprises at least one of: remaining power information, signal strength information, or time information.

10. The mobile terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to:

detect a second operation on a first target application icon which is displayed in the third screen region inputted by the user;

detect whether a running interface of an application is displayed in a target screen region, in a case that it is detected that the user drags the first target application icon into the target screen region;

display, in the target screen region, a target running interface of an application corresponding to the first target application icon, in a case that it is detected that the running interface of the application is not displayed in the target screen region; and

close the running interface, display in the third screen region an application icon of the application corresponding to the running interface, and display in the target screen region the target running interface of the application corresponding to the first target application icon, in a case that it is detected that the running interface of the application is displayed in the target screen region;
