This is why on newer Android versions you can just flat out reject being allowed to send notifications.
I will talk to you when I need it, not the other way around.
Well before the current Android version, you had to manually go into the settings of the app or your phone to disable them. Now you get this on first boot of the app:
This makes it a lot easier to reject them immediately
WW3 have that unblockable Presidential Alert emergency notification. There's no escape. 😔
Unless one disabled the correct system APK through ADB of course.
What?! I don't even have a president!

My phone hasn’t made a sound in years. It’s hard on silent and all notifications* go to my watch so it can tap my wrist quietly and politely. _ *I say “all”, but it’s calls, messages, and reminders. General purpose apps aren’t allowed to talk to me.
This. I shut off all notifications from nearly all of my apps. Primary text app, phone app, and just a couple of others. I may temporarily allow them for a special purpose, but once that's over they all get silenced and I get to them when I get to them. I hate badge notifications, too. So, those are off for EVERYTHING. Grad school cemented that aversion.
At that point why not just disallow it from running in the background?
Some apps still need to be able to do that to perform their function, but generally speaking yeah, you could
What sort of apps would need real-time running if not to send notifications? Like logging software?
Playing music, viewing weather forecast at a glance, fitness tracking, that kind of stuff
But all of them are examples of apps needing to run in the background specifically to send notifications...
What apps need to run in the background for other reasons than to send notifications?
