You certainly can. When iOS 15 is released, I think you'll find the various focus options to be very helpful in this regard. Until then, however, the best way to manage notifications is to have them delivered quietly. Do this by going into setings and into notifications. For each app, you can set how you want the notifications to be dealt with. To have the notifications delivered quietly, make certain that the only option selected is to have them allowed in the notification centre. Deselect banners, sounds and badges. This way, they'll arrive silently and won't interrupt you. For more time critical stuff, use the sounds, banners and badges as seems best to you. It's a somewhat tedious approach but you only have to set things up once and then change as your circumstances do. Again, when iOS 15 is released, there'll be far more control as well as notification summaries which will help tremendously. I currently have the majority of my apps deliver notifications quietly so I can go into the notifications centre on my own time and look through them. That means that I don't always find out about news stories or tweets right away. However, for things like messages, phone calls, etc, I have those sorts of things using banners and sounds. I don't make much use of the badges.
