Some app notifications only showing with Wi-Fi on?

I posted as a guest the same question, but this might be better. Anyone know why turning on WiFi to do some updates would bring a backlog of AP and USA Today alerts from all day flowing to the screen? I had notifications turned on - I see no such granularity in any settings for the apps or the phone (no, I didn't have Do Not Disturb On) - any ideas? Thanks!

That would be related to how the app is coded. It would be better seen in the settings for the app itself.

And of course minutes after post, an AP alert shows, so this may be a "never mind." No, probably not - WiFi was on, I thought it was off. So the question remains. (Say, does anyone else's computer kick up the fan when on Android Central? Do all those ads add a load? It's a fairly new laptop too!)

Oh I meant to say, I looked at the apps' settings - no such specificity there either. I don't even see settings in the AP app - if it has it, it's well hidden.
