The way notifications appear on your phone Fortunately there is a way to manage notification on your Android so that you only get the notifications you need.

There are two levels of notification management on your device. App level notification management and operating system notification management.

App Level Notification Management:

As the name suggests, app level notification management is where you manage the notification from the specific app. Most applications have a way of managing the notifications you receive from them. There you can choose what notifications to receive and which ones not to.  So you can dig into the settings of specific apps and manage the kind of notifications you receive from there.
