A Common Sense Media report finds about half of 11- to 17-year-olds get at least 237 notifications a day. Some get nearly 5,000 in 24 hours. What does that do to their brains?

Android gives you very good control over notifications, from turning them off completely, to blocking certain ones at certain times.

Notifications are hardly a problem for me anymore.

And if you do get a stray unwelcome notification, just long press it and disable that type of notification from that app right there.
