Doesn't Android allow you to select which category of notifications you want to receive? That can be useful here.

The problem is that it is a blacklist not a whitelist. So these apps that spam a lot just create a new category every week.

It would be fantastic if you could switch some apps to whitelist mode.

What applications do that?

The Google Search/Assistant app seems to be one of the worst that I have installed. No matter how many categories I mute I seem to get a new spam notification every couple of weeks. Unfortunately there are 2-3 useful notification categories so I haven't completely shut it down now. Google Maps also used to be pretty bad for this but I don't seem to recall any new categories for many months now.
