I can't image being so busy that hanging the clothes for 10 minutes could be seen as not important. We all live different lives :)
Besides, the notification is for notifying us, doesn't mean we need to do it within N minutes, it can wait until your Very Important Business Call is over or whatever. As long as it's done before it starts to get overly humid and starts to smell.
Eh, ok, that's not how I treat them, and if you want to remain sane, you might want to give it a try to treat them differently too, because that sounds highly annoying and borderline frustrating.
I don't have notifications on. I see it all the time with colleagues who are constantly stopping what they're doing to look at the latest slack or email or whatever on their phone, let alone the "breaking news" alerts that news companies like to push out every few hours
