My phone is always on silent mode, and dnd over night (ops team has standing instructions to always phone any on-call person twice successfully before going to next person). No audio notifications at all, but vibrate is on for phone calls during the day (important work calls, family emergencies etc of course still need to reach me) No notifications on desktop, ever <shudder>. Google hangouts and ams messenger can show me pull down "notifications" (message preview) on the phone. That's not to say I'm inaccessible - I have not missed a call or important message yet. But app notifications have negative use value for me.
