You can use 2 different notification channel to send notification depending on there priority to user.

If its a high priority notification the send it via

new NotificationChannel("Channel ID", "Channel Name", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);

Your user will get sound and pop when they will receive a notification.

If you want to send less important notification then use this channel.

new NotificationChannel("Channel ID", "Channel Name", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW);

Your user will get a notification with no sound and pop up.
