You may want to try and change notifications behaviour from just badges appearing which Voiceover will read but the badge only is visible - as I understand - for a few seconds and then disappears. You may want to set notifications to appear as windows which you have to dismiss. To change this behaviour, go to system preferences / notifications and find the table that lists all the applications. Interact with the table and you can change each application and how it presents notifications. Try to change banners to alerts. The radio buttons for these are to the right of the table so you focus on an application, stop interacting with the table and move to the right to modify how notifications appear or you could change not to have notifications at all.
