I highly recommend installing Buzzkill for those on Android.
In addition to built-in per-channel settings, Buzzkill allows you to create rules to auto-dismiss or do certain actions depending on the title or description of the notification, using basic matching or regex.
It also gives you a nicer view of notification history, with more days and scrubbing across time if you ever want to revisit past notifications.

- microflash 4y agoBuzzkill is a godsent and should be an OS feature. Setting rules on notifications, automated actions and a history has reduced the deluge of useless distractions for me. The app is proprietary and closed source though; it also uses Accessibility access. This might be a turn off for some threat models.
- pwpw 4y agoI would love to help on building an open source alternative. Any clue on where to get started with documentation?
- microflash 4y agoI've no idea. Although I've worked on Java for ages, Android programming never caught my interest. Maybe search for his to get started on Android and browse some open source projects to get a feel of this is your thing.
- ajolly 4y agoI like buzzkill, also check out FilterBox, Spren, and Notification Organizer. (Or tasker for raw power) I find each of them have their own little quirks.
- jbaber 4y agoCan't recommend buzzkill enough. I didl't notice how notifications had turned into e-mail until I got this spam filter. It's also wonderful for letting you bundle notifications (like family group texts) to be delivered every twelve hours.
- aembleton 4y agoThank you. This is what I come to hacker news for.
