Reduce unnecessary calls of NotificationListenerService

I'm using NotificationListenerService in order to read incoming WhatsApp and Viber messages.

As from the docs, NotificationListenerService is:

A service that receives calls from the system when new notifications
are posted or removed, or their ranking changed.

So my service gets called when any kind of notification appears on the user's screen.
I'm interested whether I can somehow reduce the situations when my service is called? Because, in my case, I'm only interested in WhatsApp and Viber notifications.

Currently, I'm filtering the notifications just by putting an if condition in OnNotificationPosted() method, like this:

 @Override

    public void onNotificationPosted(StatusBarNotification sbn) {



            String packageName = sbn.getPackageName();



            if (packageName.equalsIgnoreCase("com.viber.voip")

                    || packageName.equalsIgnoreCase("com.whatsapp")) {



                           // my code

              }

     }

So, my question is:

Is it possible to somehow filter the notifications for NotificationListenerSevice so that NotificationListenerService doesn't get triggered by the notification packages that are out of my interest?

If that would be possible I could reduce the unnecessary calls of my servise.

Thank you for your answer, but it's not answering my question. The thing is: My question is about NotificationListenerServise, not about Notifications in general. I'm interested in not triggering the NotificationListenerService by the packages that are out of my interest programmatically.
