I think it would be great to have a screen to manage notifications settings.
This could present a long list of notifications for different things (e.g. for me the important ones are activity statement due soon, STP filing overdue).
For each item, the user could select if they want it active, how they want to be notified (e.g. header line, or in a widget), and whether to be emailed (very helpful for people like me who only log in once or twice a week and do a days work).

As a side note, the first of my important ones was requested already in the post https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/47224142-bas-notification-when-activity-statement-is-due.

However, the response (marking it as complete) wasn't fully completing the request - which is to notify the user on the dashboard, rather than only within the Activity statements screen.

I looked into this after finding I'd missed an activity statement, and so I excitedly added the "Activity Statement" report to the "Tax and reporting" widget on the dashboard, thinking this would be able to remind me... but all it does is show a shortcut to the activity statement screen. It doesn't have any notifications :(.

Lastly, yes Xero already puts up notifications for some things. One user posted a feature request title "Notificatioins - Ability to view all notifications received". This certainly has merit too!

Thanks for your consideration,
