Android does, at the level of "Allow notifications from app X" and "Block notifications from app X".

DoNotNotify gives granularity and rules (which a specific app may have chosen not to implement).

For example:

    "Allow <budget airline app X> to display notifications of gate changes"
    "Block <budget airline app X> from displaying advertising notifications"

Android 15/16 does allow you to control notifications even lower, at the level of notification category, but indeed the app must have chosen to use them.

Most apps that are in need of notification control either:

a) bundle everything in one category, from critical notifications without which the app can't fulfill its purpose to "HEY YOU HAVEN'T USED ME IN A DAY, USE ME NOW" spam

b) create a new category for spam every time they feel enough users have turned off the previous one, which is often

Companies do it with email unsubscribe categories to, which is skirting laws for sure.

I wish app review checked for this. It's hostile anti user behavior.

OEMs like Samsung turn off that ability by default unless you toggle it in "advanced settings". Thank you Samsung!

Yeah the problem is a lot of apps dump their ads in the wrong category if they even use categories :(
