An application management method, receiving a first message of a first application on a terminal, and displaying a first message notice corresponding to the first message; determining a first application type to which the first application belongs and the method characterized in that, the method further comprises: acquiring a notice about an on/off state of a screen of the terminal from a system log service process of the terminal; determining whether the screen of the terminal is in the on state or in the off state when receiving the first message of the first application based on the notice; interrupting simultaneously network communication of all applications of the first application type if the screen is in the off state when receiving the first message of the first application and if a reading instruction for any message of the first application and a reading instruction for any message of another application of the first application type are not received within a first preset duration after the first message is received, wherein the reading instruction for any message of the first application refers to that a user clicks to read a message of the first application or enters any interface of the first application; and recovering network communication of the first application when a preset interruption cancellation triggering event is detected. receiving a first message of a first application on a terminal, and displaying a first message notice corresponding to the first message; determining a first application type to which the first application belongs and the method characterized in that, the method further comprises: acquiring a notice about an on/off state of a screen of the terminal from a system log service process of the terminal; determining whether the screen of the terminal is in the on state or in the off state when receiving the first message of the first application based on the notice; interrupting simultaneously network communication of all applications of the first application type if the screen is in the off state when receiving the first message of the first application and if a reading instruction for any message of the first application and a reading instruction for any message of another application of the first application type are not received within a first preset duration after the first message is received, wherein the reading instruction for any message of the first application refers to that a user clicks to read a message of the first application or enters any interface of the first application; and recovering network communication of the first application when a preset interruption cancellation triggering event is detected. acquiring a notice about an on/off state of a screen of the terminal from a system log service process of the terminal; determining whether the screen of the terminal is in the on state or in the off state when receiving the first message of the first application based on the notice; interrupting simultaneously network communication of all applications of the first application type if the screen is in the off state when receiving the first message of the first application and if a reading instruction for any message of the first application and a reading instruction for any message of another application of the first application type are not received within a first preset duration after the first message is received, wherein the reading instruction for any message of the first application refers to that a user clicks to read a message of the first application or enters any interface of the first application; and recovering network communication of the first application when a preset interruption cancellation triggering event is detected.
