Android 15 DP1 has added the “notification cooldown” feature I first revealed in the Android 14 QPR2 beta for @AndroidPolice. This feature “gradually lower[s] the notification volume when you get many successive notifications from the same app.” pic.twitter.com/Cd4Rh0EWbV

No matter how many times a notification repeats, it will never be completely silent. The idea is that the user hears the decreasing notification volume and recognizes that a notification just received is from an app or a conversation that has already sent notifications. This way, the user might decide to skip a low-volume notification and not bother to open one until it is accompanied by the regular notification volume indicating the latest notification is from a new sender.
After an unknown period of time, the Notification cooldown will reset and notifications from all apps and conversations, even those that have sent you multiple notifications, will be accompanied by regular notification volume.
Google is aiming for one more Android 15 Developer Preview next month with the start of the Android 15 beta program taking place in April. One beta release per month is scheduled from April through July with the beta reaching platform stability in June. The final release of Android 15 could come in September or October. Last year, Android 14 was released by Google on October 4th.
