Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
There's an unused option to group notification channels on Android. This is a promising feature to categorize and configure tens to hundreds of different notification channels with similar names.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Add an optional `channel_group` data attribute that would be parsed before the `createNotificationChannel` phase (in the `notificationManager.createNotificationChannelGroup` call).
**Describe alternatives you've considered, if any**
– Using Telegram notifications (not actionable enough)
– Merging notification channels (I don't need notifications for some channels occasionally, and renaming them becomes a mess)
– Modifying scripts to not send notifications (not portable)
