Ah, good to know, I wasn't sure what was happening. 

To your question, I guess, a quota of how many notifications per minute an app
is allowed to post/update would be a mitigation that however comes with a rat
tail of other potential issues attached (e.g. what if user presses
pause/play/pause/play on some audio or video playback very often).

But maybe, if an app removes a notification and in the same breath posts a new
notification, don't fade out the old and fade in the new, but directly replace
it in-place.

I gather what might be happening is that SELinux *doesn't* want to spam
notifications when a barrage of security alerts occur, so it makes sure to
always only show a notification for one, i.e. the latest security alert, thus
clearing any previous when a new one arrives. (In that case, though, it might
be worth opening an issue at whatever component creates these SELinux
notifications to not create new notifications but update the old one, if that's
possible)
