I think having something that you defer pop up in your notification menu doesn’t make too much sense. Not saying it is a bad idea though 🙂

When you defer a topic you mark it unread, so it will show in your unread list on the main screen. Unless you have a topic set as watching, if it has unread posts then it will not pop up in your notification menu.

Just my way of seeing it 😃
