I want a way to allow an app to give me "notifications", but only buzz and actually try to get my attention if it's an app that I've given "priority status" to.

I.e. I want to be able to check a list of not-important but informative notifications once or twice a day, and a couple of apps I want it to buzz and let me know immediately.

As it stands right now, I allow more apps to buzz and get my attention with their notifications than I'd prefer, all because I don't want to miss that information entirely.

I am getting a Pebble2 watch soon, though, so I'm hoping I can use that as my 'priority' notification filter, and turn off the buzzing on my phone.

What phone do you have?

I think I have the setup you're after on my iPhone.

My Android 5.1 phone has a All/Priority/No notifications mechanism... I hold down the volume down button for a couple of seconds and I have a quick panel to choose which mode and duration selections for None/Priority. Requires going through Settings | Sounds | Interruptions and setting priority status per app, minor overhead.

I get call rings, txt message notifications, and almost nothing else until the Priority only mode expires.
