I turned all of my notifications off and use Pomodoro timers.
If it really can't wait <25 minutes, they can call me or come to my desk. It's amazing how many things aren't "immediate" if you create a slight cost with requesting attention.

This is exactly what I do! I find it very simple and effective. I set mine for 60 minutes. It really helps focus. 60 minutes is about as long as I can focus without a break anyway.
