Messaging apps are a good example of when not to do notifications. Why should my day be interrupted because some random contact sends me some information? I don’t have email set to interrupt me, why should chat?

It's nice for the app to get notified so it can download the message, so it's ready when you next want to look at messages. Of course, worst of both is interruption notifications where you see part of the message, tap to read the whole thing and then get to wait for the thing to load.
