Claim:
1. A method, comprising: storing, in a memory of a first communication device, an identifier of a second communication device and alert settings for an alert, the alert settings including a start time for the alert and a frequency for the alert; in response to detecting, at a processor interconnected with the memory of the first communication device, a first notification message via execution of a notification application, generating an identifier of the first notification message and a first timestamp representing a time the first notification message was detected by the processor of the first communication device and storing, in the memory, the identifier of the notification message and the first timestamp; sending a first master declaration message from the first communication device to the second communication device, the first master declaration message comprising the first timestamp; receiving, at the first communication device, a second master declaration message from the second communication device, the second master declaration message comprising a second timestamp representing a time a second notification message was detected at a processor of the second communication device; in response to determining, at the processor of the first communication device, that the second notification message was detected at the processor of the second communication device after the first notification message was detected at the processor based on a comparison of the first and second timestamps:
