The constant buzzing of your phone or tablet with every notification and alert seems maddening. And the consequent checking of the device can be a major source of distraction for anyone.  But, does that mean you should turn off notifications and alerts altogether?

Turning off notifications and alerts may not be a wise step and especially for Android device which only momentarily displays the notifications and gets collected in the notification panel which has to be swiped open from the top panel. So, there are possibilities that the users do not notice new notifications and miss important messages or alerts.
