Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Choosing to be notified on "All messages" for a room currently notifies on both text messages and other events such as joins, increasing the badge count for the room (this is describing the behaviour in Element Web/Desktop).
This is a bit awkward from a first-time user experience (FTUE) perspective and is probably not what a typical user would want. This is especially obvious in e.g. company-wide announcement rooms, where you're really only interested in the messages and you want to be notified of messages loudly.
Describe the solution you'd like
Since notifying only on messages is achievable with today's push rules, I propose to
All events (messages and state events)
, andAll messages
option which will only notify on actual messages.Describe alternatives you've considered
Waiting for the new restructured push rules system. That may or may not come, but it's looking like it will not come soon. This proposal is an easy win for usability in the meantime.
