RECEIVING A COMMUNICATION EVENT

Disclosed are methods, apparatus, and computer readable storage mediums for filtering communication events communicated over a communications network from a network node to a device. In one aspect, a method includes configuring, via a communication client application, the device to associate each of a plurality of sets of filtering parameters with a different operating mode of the device, in response to a transition of the device from a first operating mode to a second operating mode, determining, by the device, a first set of filtering parameters associated with the second operating mode based on the configuring, and transmitting, by the device, the determined first set of filtering parameters to the network node, the transmission instructing the network node to transmit particular types of communication events permitted by the first set of filtering parameters to the device and to block other types of communication events to the device that are not permitted by the first set of filtering parameters.
