"Notification Remover" Android app allows to automatically dismiss some notifications but not others, based on user-defined filters. I use it and it works really well.

It is a solution for this problem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31632137

From app description:

"Notifications will be cleaned automatically based on your input. Select the package name of an app and enter the message text (regular expression) of the annoying notification and you'll never see it again."

It however lacks ability to export / import filters so they need to be created manually.

Also the app is not longer updated. I hope at some point somebody will create open-source clone of it with more features.

How is this different from what's built-in to Android? You can silence notifications from individual apps, set 'Do Not Disturb' times and, with quite a few apps, you can even fine-tune which kind of notifications it's allowed to send you.

This app doesn't work on an app level, it works on a message or notification level.

E.g I want uber to tell me when food or my driver is arriving, but I want them to fuck off from spamming me about discounts or other nonsense. This app allows me to keep for the former but block the latter.
