This 100%. Hell, give me a way to write code to filter notifications and I'll do it myself.

I get so frustrated by apps that I need notifications on for but I don't want marketing BS, unfortunately there is no middle ground.

On top of filtering Apple should force app developers to segment their push notifications and allow users to block different types. This would be completely in line with Apple's _stated_ priorities and a great thing to advertise (I can imagine the commercials for it already).

I think you can do this on Android (or at least you used to be able to with Tasker when rooted, since it has [used to have] the ability to read notifications and dismiss notifications)
