Create Custom Notification in Salesforce
While notifications can be great for user experience it can also be an annoyance to some. We have App notifications or Push notifications in our mobile phones similarly we have the Custom Notifications in Salesforce.
Enter Notification Builder in Quick Find in Setup and then select Custom Notifications.
Click New and add your Custom Notification Name and API Name and Supported Channels.
The Supported Channels provided as of now are Desktop and Mobile.
We can manage these notifications via 'Notification Deliverability Settings'.
From Setup, enter Notification Builder in the Quick Find box, then select Notification Delivery Settings.
Choose your custom notification type, and select Edit from the drop-down menu. Select the supported applications for your notification type and Save.

If you want to mute these pesky notifications in Salesforce, deselect the delivery channels or use custom notifications. Mobile Notifications work only if 'Enable in-app notifications' and 'Enable push notifications' setting is checked in your org under Setup >> Mobile Apps >> Salesforce >> Salesforce Notifications.
