Make notification targeting more intelligent. #15

Right now notifications go to every device, so regardless of whether you were actively engaged in the conversation on one device, every other device is going to have a stack of notifications waiting for you (worse - if you're typing on Riot Web your phone will be buzzing away in the background like a crazy thing).

The scope of this project is to:

define what the optimal behaviour is
implement across all Riot clients

It would be great to be able to tune more precisely mobile notifications. For instance, say I want to receive notifications for all messages in a room on desktop, but only for mentions on mobile.

This setting would be per-room. In the desktop app, something like a second cursor in the room notifications parameters could enable this.

In addition... functionality akin to slack would be great... knowing which device is the "active device" and only sending mobile notifications if desktop is idle.

Yeah, this is annoying in general, and super disruptive in an office setting (even buzzing would be bad but riot-android defaults to an audible ping, not just buzzing). A private chat sounds like an alarm clock going off in your pocket.

Maybe the mobile apps could delay notifications a few seconds after the arrival of the message, so there is a chance for read receipts from other devices to arrive first?
