Android L follows iOS 8, brings on interactive notification center
Google got its annual I/O conference off to a fast start on Wednesday when it announced that it would be bringing interactive notifications to Android starting with Android L. Among other things, the notification center will make sure that when you receive a phone call, it won’t interrupt what you’re doing on your device. So for instance, if you’re playing a game on your Android phone and a friend calls, their call notification won’t take up the entire screen.
