There's an app called Spren which does this. But it has not been updated in three years and it doesn't work with active notifications.

It would be useful to see the dismissed notifications grouped in the notification bar, as I usually forget about the notifications when I use Farhan, and although most are promotional ones, there may be some important information.

I think the difference is that notifications can't be viewed until the time set in fahran vs the notifications being visible but grouped together n spren (also iOS has that btw)

i see your point the reason i asked is because he mentioned he forgets about the filtered notifications

as I usually forget about the notifications when I use Farhan,

When i was designing notification filter i thought about a similar senario where Farhan has an ongoing notification showing the number of filtered notifications. and also the idea to show the number of filtered notifications on the main screen. I later cancelled the idea since it defeats the purpose of why this feature was created in the first place, Farhan should not encourage you to keep pulling down your notification shade, look for a new icons in the status bar or even open the notification filter when you are in the home screen of Farhan since this might distract you and you'll probably find yourself 30 mins later scrolling in some other app. So unless i can see real potential of grouping notifications like this helping someone reduce thier phone usage im not going to prioritize working on it.

Oh, I was actually wrong. Once can view the notifications by going into the farhan app. @RajCodeLabs did you know this and would that solve your problem or would you still want to see this feature to be implemented?
