Public bug reported:

On a phone with accounts setup for twitter, facebook and 2x google accounts I get a fair number of notifications.
Often times these notifications appear while I'm actually using the phone.
This presents issues in multiple areas:-

* If I'm in the dash I am blocked from using the search function because a notification covers the search button
* If I'm in the dash and already searching, having typed something, I'm blocked from seeing what I'm typing by the notification
* In apps I can't go "back" because the notification blocks the button

You get the idea. Basically notifications slow me down, because I have
to wait for them to disappear. I'd like to be able to dismiss them. On
iOS you swipe up which is indicated with a horizontal bar to grab and
swipe away.
