Snapchat - can't turn off notifications?

[AC Question]

Hello. I have an Android phone and was hoping to turn off Snapchat notifications for a brief amount of time. I tapped on the gear icon and went to my notifications settings, and unclicked the "Receive notifications" option. However, every time I leave this screen and return to it, "Receive notifications" re-appears as checked. It won't remain un-checked no matter what I do!
Is there any way to fix this problem?
Thank you.
