It is a part of the device's [[notification system]] that uses a [[Cloud computing|cloud]]-powered [[Push technology|push]] [[notification service]] to relay remote notification messages to the user, or local notifications. Similar to audio notifications, a notification LED is a very battery-efficient way to inform the user of new notifications without turning on the screen at all.
