Now in 1.1.9.28 the Android notifications wake up the phone screen for every notification. It naturally uses more battery this way, so I would hope that this was an option the user could select to have. I personally would prefer only the sound and LED for Android notifications, I don't want or need to see every Telegram/Whatsapp/whatever notification on the screen when it arrives.

Disagree. Notifications should act the same regardless of the source (native vs android).
However, some kind of menu where you can configure what the types of notification do (mail, event, calendar .etc) in terms of sound, led, and screen wake would be useful, as everyone has their own preferences as to how they want to be alerted.
How is it not an answer? You very specifically stated you want android notifications to be treated as a special case, so the only two answers are 'yes, great idea', or 'no, and here's why'.
What you could do, is alter the question to be more general so people can propose their own solutions

Did you try only Android? It seems regular incoming SMS also does wake up the display. This is a waste of energy because we already have the led to indicate incoming messages.
Worse: it briefly displays the incoming message. In case of short messages like "are you alone?" or "also bored at work?" bystanders have more than time enough to read it.
Even worse: it also does this when the phone is supposed fully locked with lock code enabled.
Privacy options should go beyond "we promise not to sellout to NSA"
