As far as I can tell, you can customize email and phone notifications, but you can't customize the notifications that appear under the red alert number on Google web pages. (I might be missing something.)


I like to think of the red alert number as my "score". The higher it gets the more I know I'm ignoring useless distractions.


There's a "Who can send you notifications?" section on the settings page which allows you to configure who can send you notifications that trigger the red alert.


This does not actually work for being added to circles.


Try this instead: https://github.com/mikemaccana/japanese_mayonnaise


I'm becoming increasingly strict avoiding things like that: if Google doesn't care about wasting my attention, why help them by using their service?
