Description

I normally have all notifications turned off. I like to keep it clean so to speak. I would love to see an option to show unlocked achievements when all other notifications are turned off. I noticed that "Patch Notifications" can be tunred on or off even when notifications are turned off. Can Achievement noticications also be added here please?

Research direction

Start by tracing RetroArch's notification and achievement display entry points, especially the existing Patch Notifications setting. Determine where the global notification-off state is checked and how achievement unlocks are dispatched. Done means achievement notifications can be enabled independently while other notifications remain disabled, with coverage for both settings combinations.
