Some iPhone apps can notify you when you have received messages or when updates are available. You can choose which apps give which notifications, or prevent apps from showing notifications

altogether. You can also choose the order in which the notifications appear in the Notification Center and control which notifications appear on the lock screen.

iPhone apps use three types of notifications: badges on app icons, banners at the top of the screen, and alert dialogs. See the tip for details.
