Toasts automatically disappear after a timeout. A toast would not be appropriate if the user is expected to respond because it only appears briefly and cannot be recalled. In this situation, the Android docs recommend using a Notification.

It is a special, urgent notification about the occurrence of a specific event (or series of events) that is sent to responsible parties to initiate an action. An alert is something that a device (SIEM, firewall, DLP) has to notify you about based on the security rules you have programmed.

Alerts are for predefined events that go in the Windows application log. Job notifications only cover success or failure of the job.

Notification types can be broadly classified into three levels of severity: high, medium, and low attention. Each level of severity corresponds to a different level of urgency and attention required by the user.

Alert messaging (or alert notification) is machine-to-person communication that is important or time-sensitive. An alert may be a calendar reminder or a notification of a new message.

An alert is Apple's name for notification bubbles that appear on your device, whether on the Lock Screen, in the Notification Center, or as a banner at the top of your screen.

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences. The Calendar API provides support for reminders and notifications. Reminders are alarms triggered at a specified time before an event starts. Notifications allow users to find out about changes to events in their calendar.
