A computing device is described that, while presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with a first application, transitions from a first operational state to a second operational state. While in the second operational state, the computing device stops presenting the GUI associated with the first application, determines a context of the computing device, and receives a notification associated with a second application. The computing device determines, based on the context and the notification, a degree of likelihood that a user associated would access the second application, prior to the first application, after the computing device has transitioned from operating in the second operational state to operating in the first operational state. After transitioning from the second operational state to the first operational state, and responsive to determining that the degree of likelihood satisfies a likelihood threshold, the computing device presents a GUI associated with the second application.
