Need notifications to return after restarting phone

This has always been incredibly frustrating for me. I am extremely neurodivergent and rely on notifications as a visual reminder to follow up on things. Sometimes I'll need to restart my phone (for whatever reason) but then whatever notifications I had will disappear when I do so. We need a setting that we can enable so that notifications reappear after restarting phone. 

Also need the option to restore them if they are swiped away in error. Or better yet, the option to be able to lock notifications so that they can't be swiped away errantly in the first place. If you swipe at it by mistake, then a lock code is required in order for it to unlock first, then you can swipe away. Again, optional of course, because I assume most people probably do not need this, but for someone like me it'd be so helpful. 

I know there are all kinds of reminder apps and such, but stuff like that doesn't work for me, as it's just yet another to-do procedure (and my brain doesn't function like the average person). I need to be able to keep the actual notifications until I finally have a chance to follow up on them. 

I included screenshot of examples of notifications. I have the S22 Ultra.

Hi,

I too second having the phone save existing notifications before restart and display them again after the restart.

I have a reminder app (DGT GTD) which provides notifications which can be snoozed or marked completed. If the phone restarts when there are active notifications, those notifications no longer appears after restart, hence resulting in missed alarms. Not sure if it is an app-specific behavior or whether that happens for all reminder apps.

It will be nice to have the active notifications show up again without any user intervention.

It's app-dependent. Some notifications persist after restart. Example - Google Messages does; Google Voice does not.
