How about disabling notifications when you are in flow and checking messages after you done. Effectively same as putting on headphones when in office.

I do disable notifications when I am in flow. That's why I prefer working from home. I have control over that.

In the office respect for the headphone signal is not universal. Also, sometimes I don't want to wear headphones just to signal I am in flow. Nor do I want to have to use them drown out all the other distractions. People are still walking around and doing things, all are potential distractions.
