Your comments

Sounds like you are working on this issue, but let me add my agreement to some of the previous comments. I definitely need to be able to control my push notification setting on my phone independently of whether or not I am active on the desktop or anyplace else. I keep missing messages become someplace else in my work environment, I'm active on Ryver. And even when I'm staring at my desktop, I still want to receive notification messages, because I, like I'm sure most other people, have multiple applications, multiple windows and multiple desktop "spaces" open at the same time and need to see the message to realize I have some new events in Ryver that I need to check. 


In theory, it's a great idea on how to reduce distractions while working. However, in practice there is a reason most other apps don't handle messaging this way. On my Mac, Skype, Mail, Messages (and even, shhhhh! Slack) notify me when something happens, even when that application is active - because generally speaking, it helps me to be tapped on the shoulder with a notification when someone Skypes, emails or messages me.
