Perhaps the problem is not the quantity of notifications, but quality. If these notifications were about meaningful social interactions, like how Apple or Google shows them in their marketing materials - friends calling and messaging friends, then it wouldn't be concerning. Most of the stuff real people get notified about, though, is really made by machines for machines (given the volume of information).
