Labeling the FUSA "Presentation" state to a "Non-critical notifications"
state with a checkbox is the simplest approach.

*We cannot decide every app using full screen* , videos too can/cannot
be disturbed by notification , several use cases have been presented
here to illustrate both scenarios. When a simple FUSA checkbox can do
the job why analyzing all the apps and breaking our heads over how to
handle it?!
