An electronic device is provided that includes a processor, and a data storage device having executable instructions accessible by the processor. Responsive to execution of the instructions, the processor receives candidate network based notifications. For each of the candidate network based notifications, the processor blocks communication of the candidate network based notifications to a user of the electronic device based on user permissions. The processor also obtains context data related to the user, modifies the user permissions based on the context data and determines a period for utilizing modified user permissions, and resets the user permissions after the period.
