You may feel that you have to look at your notifications as soon as they arrive.

You may get so many of them that you feel that your notification bar is going to explode. The good news is that you can keep a clean notification bar and not have to panic because you forgot to deal with a particular notification.

The downside is that Android doesn’t offer any type of solution for this.

If you leave the notifications there, they will pile up, and if you swipe them away, there’s a good chance you’ll forget about them. I’ve lost count of how many times that’s happened to me.

In order to prevent that from happening to you follow this guide to save and dismiss notifications on Android and set reminders to view them later.
