Notifications
Notification settings.
Objectives
Allow people to:
- Stop notifications from annoying apps
- See important notification, even when playing games or watching videos
- Focus, either temporarily (example: during meetings), for longer periods of time (example: "I need to focus on writing this report"), or at certain times of the day ("I don't want to be bothered when I'm relaxing in the evening")
- Filter out some notifications but not others, while they're focused (example: "I still need to get calendar notifications, so I know when I have calls coming up")
Other functionality to provide:
- Control whether the screen should waking up and show fullscreen notifications, when it is locked (it might not be desirable in some environments, like a desktop machine in a shared space)
- Control whether notification summaries are shown on the lock screen
Potential functionality which has been excluded for now:
- Controls for notification sounds
- Hide the content of notifications

Discussion
Scheduled "do not disturb" functionality could do more than disable notifications - for example, it could prevent certain apps or websites from being accessed.
