1. A method comprising:
capturing, by one or more processors, a respective activity pattern of each of a plurality of internet of things (IoT) enabled devices of a user;
determining, by one or more processors, an active device of the user from the plurality of IoT enabled devices based at least in part on an activity pattern of the active device, wherein the activity pattern is based at least in part on an interaction between the user and the active device, wherein the interaction is selected from the group consisting of a cursor movement, a keystroke, a touch screen interaction, and an audible command;
utilizing the plurality of IoT enabled devices in communication with one or more processors to identify a notification for distribution to the user, wherein at least one of the plurality of IoT devices intercepts an alert corresponding to the notification and extracts information corresponding to the notification;
intercepting, by one or more processors, delivery of the notification to non-active devices of the plurality of IoT enabled devices;
delaying the delivery of the notification to non-active devices of the plurality of IoT enabled devices until a threshold is achieved;
transmitting, by one or more processors, the notification to the active device of the user;
determining the threshold is achieved; and
responsive to determining the threshold is achieved, transmitting the notification to the non-active devices of the plurality of IoT enabled devices.
