Notifications while writing

I love Wattpad and spend most of my free time writing. I like to know right away when I have someone comment or vote on my book because I like to interact with my readers through the comments like answering questions and such. Sadly, I dont get notifications from the app while I am writing a chapter, so I have to stop writing after a while just to go check my notifications. I was just wondering if this is normal and if it could be changed so I get notifications while writing.
