It's especially frustrating for food delivery apps. Other then messaging apps, there's no app I more want a push notification from than food delivery, but the sheer amount of spam forces me to turn off notifications.

Now my dinner is sitting on our porch getting cold because they "notified" me that my food was here, but didn't knock or ring the doorbell :-(

Hmm, I see a market for an app that can turn on and off notifications, e.g. "Allow Evil Delivery App to send me notifications for the next hour". It'll probably be impossible to pass through the app store overlords.

Or a notification "firewall". I know Pushbullet has permission to see all my notifications and to forward them to my desktop PC, I can also dismiss them from the PC, so I guess it'd be possible to make a similar app that filters notifications and dismiss the spammy ones.
