Technical Analysis & User Insight:

"Notification Fatigue" is a recognized psychological stressor in mobile computing. Android 15 addresses this via "Notification Cooldown," an algorithm managed by the NotificationManager service. It detects rapid-fire incoming intents from a single package (e.g., a viral group chat) and dynamically attenuates the audio and haptic feedback for subsequent alerts.2 This feature is vital for preserving user sanity without requiring them to mute important contacts completely.

Stop the Spam: How to Enable Notification Cooldown on Android 15

The Problem: Your group chat is blowing up, and your phone won't stop vibrating every two seconds.

The Fix: "Notification Cooldown" automatically lowers the volume for rapid-fire messages.

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Navigate to Settings.

  2. Tap on Notifications.

  3. Scroll down to find Notification Cooldown8

  4. Toggle the switch to On.

  5. Pro Tip: This works best on Pixel devices, but Samsung users can achieve similar results by using "Mute" schedules in the Sound settings.7
