Turn off notifications in full screen apps

This is something that I have been thinking for a while now, when running full screen games/apps (full screen as in no iPad, wifi signal, time, battery) to totally disable any notification popups. It is very off putting when playing a game when a notification comes onscreen halfway through playing a game, you take your eyes off it for a split second and that's it.

I think if it was to be implemented it would needs its own section in the settings so you could toggle all the different apps and also have a main on/off switch.

What are your thoughts on this? I appreciate that the iOS 5 notifications aren't as intrusive as iOS 4 and previous versions, but they do still take your eyes off the game! I also understand that the idea of notifications is so that you are always in the know.

The main game I play is Diamond Dash and it does lag the game and also puts me off for a fraction of a second, which can mean a rubbish score at the end! I think I might add it to the suggestions thread then, it's worth a shot at the end of the day!

I got that, but an app like Angry Birds only plays in Full Screen mode and something like Safari always shows the status bar.

Yes so for Angry Birds I don't want notifications, safari would be fine. Obviously there would be selections to be made in the settings so I could select whichs apps I don't want notifications in!!
