disable message notifications in certain apps when connected to Android auto?

hi - I have recently got a car that works with my android sony phone on android auto, but I have lots of whatsapp and kik groups and want to turn off the notifications that come up on the dashboard via android auto - leaving only the standard SMS notifications to come up - how can I do this?

I don't believe there's a way to do it natively through Android Auto. You probably would have to disable the notifications completely on the phone or use an app like Tasker or If to set up rules to disable those notifications once you're connected to your car.
