no please don't do such a thing. it takes away a lot of benefits of the

person has to say and hence decide if i want to open the chat window now
or later.

Also if the messages shouldn't come then one should
set the do-not-disturb mode.


You are right. The problem I was trying to address is that people will forget to set the "presentation" state before switching to full screen, not deciding which notifications may be embrassing or which applications are likely to be presentations.

So let's try to solve that problem. A possibility is to issue a notification when an application goes full-screen, saying "notifications will be displayed, switch to presentation mode to suppress them".
