Comment (by shawfactor):

 I suggest a slightly different approach.

 1. Add an expiration date field  the notifications table (that can be
 null)
 2. Add a setting that allows admins to set a defaults expiration period
 and a filter that allows devs to set different expirations on a per
 notification or per notification type basis

 This would not only address the above issue but also make it much easier
 to clear unread notifications that are no longer relevant.
