I am trying to find documentation or a cleaner way of not showing notification(programmatically) during nighttime (sleeping hours). I have a service that periodically checks if certain conditions are met and then I fire the notification. I would want to avoid this when the user is sleeping.

I don't really think you need to. If the user wants to block notifications, they'll put the device in Do Not Disturb mode which blocks all notification. I have one set to automatically turn on at night and off in the morning. Bonus- when the DND turns off, I get all the notifications I miss. This is a feature of the Android OS.

If you really wanted to do this- just check the time before you put up a notification. If its too late, don't fire it. Optionally, set an alarm for when you think its late enough, and decide if the user should see them now.

Do you mean to keep running the program at night without using notifications? You only need to use WorkManager, JobScheduler or AlarmManager to achieve.
