An idea I've had is to have the notification area act slightly similarly
to an app.  For example if you have a busy gmail account and are trying
to watch a movie you don't to be interrupted by it.  The possible
solution would be to be able to click on the app you had open and have
it sticky to the foreground until the app is closed or swipe and then
have the notifications continue to appear.  If you swipe the app away to
open another you can then tap the Scope (as it is an app) and then that
gets foreground attention freezing up the notifications again.

Another possibly easier solution would be to add a cross or swipe action
similar to Alan suggestion to just get rid of the notification.

Title:
  Can't dismiss notification bubbles

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  New
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
