Text message - stop multiple notifications?

[Android Central Question]

The text messaging app - is there a way to make it only give a notification for the first text you receive, and not beep for every single text that comes after that? Like, if someone sends five texts in a row, to have your phone not blow up for every single text you receive?

Using the standard settings on the phone, no, you cannot do this.

However there are third-party notification apps that let you do this type of thing and more. See if this gets you close to where you want to be:
