7 Best Android Apps to Manage Notifications

An app notification keeps you notified of the action that has happened in an app even if it is not running. You are prompted by the way of alerts, statuses, or messages to know the whereabouts of an app. For example, you might want to be notified of a new video released on YouTube by your favorite creator or get your daily dose of fresh news. And, while your Android smartphone’s own notification feature does a decent job at providing you notifications, a third-party notification app for Android can be a lot more beneficial.

Here are some features you can expect from an Android notification app –

• Automate how you handle notifications – hide, copy, remove, etc.
• Keep notifications organized in one place.
• Some apps even come with sensors that pop up the notification, the moment you take your smartphone out of your pocket.
• Perform actions on notifications in bulk.
• Align notifications with Do Not Disturb mode. In this case, notifications will be shut off completely.
• Save statuses and chats from popular messaging platforms.
