> For instance, I just want my iPhone to batch my notifications until a certain time, without me having to worry about becoming distracted.
This is fairly easy:
Go into Settings -> Notifications, click the apps you want, and disable "Show on Lock Screen" and "Sounds" but leave "Show in Notification Center" enabled. Then you can just check them at your leisure.
You could also set the "Alert Style When Unlocked" to None.
This may be tedious if you want to do this for a large number of apps. In that case, as others have suggested, just enable the blanket Do Not Disturb, scheduling it for a specific time if needed.
