Start with realizing that you are fully at the mercy of whomever is sending 
those notifications.  The app decides the frequency as well as the class of 
them.  If the app itself doesn't allow you to adjust either/both than there 
is nothing you can do - other than to hope that your OS has a setting to 
deal with it, something you seem to have indicated you already looked at.

And thats assuming you are talking about the usefullnes of a certain class 
of notifications, and not the usefullness (to you) of the contents of 
notifications within a certain class.

And I think you can imagine the problem with blocking a certain class of 
notifications because you don't like the, for example, "heads-up" 
notifcations of one specific app. :-|

Have you already looked in the specific apps settings ?

And perhaps someone already wrote a "notification firewall".   You could do 
worse than to do a websearch for it.

Those are generated by the OS.   I would suggest you to look in the 
OS-specific settings.
