Twitter - notifications when multiple people retweet or mention same tweet?
The Twitter app on my Anrdoid phone has a handy notification feature, where if multiple people I follow retweet something or are talking about the same thing - I get notified (example -- "@xxxx and 1 other are talking about this")
Is there some way either via Twitter directly in a web browser or a 3rd party application (ideally a free app or low cost) that I can set up similar notifications?
I get a lot of different news and tidbits from the people I follow and it helps to be notified like this as it makes a particular piece of news stand out (at least, as being something of interest among several people that I follow).

I have all notification options checked on in my Twitter account settings.
Under 'Notifications', it shows who followed me, who likes my tweet, replies, mentions, etc
But there's no notification like my phone gives me, which like I gave as an example before, messages like:
@xxxx and 3 others are talking about this

That's a function of the specific Twitter client you are looking at. Again, what device(s) are you wanting to get the notification on and through what modality?

On my laptop, I'd like to be able to pull up whenever I want, any popular topics people I'm following are talking about (on an on-demand basis)
What OS is your laptop running?

Windows 10
So the first thing I would do is install the official Twitter app for Windows 10 from the Windows app store. It will hook into the Windows Action Center and should provide the type of alert you are looking for via the system tray...

I installed the Twitter Windows 10 app, but it doesn't seem to give any more additional notification options or features.

How are you asking to be notified? Twitter (web) already does this in your notifications tab and you can customize the frequency of emails via Settings. What are you looking to do differently and for which device/modality?
