Close all desktop notifications

I'd like to hide/dismiss/remove all the notifications that applications like Signal have created.

I know I can create notifications with, for example, `notify-send -t 10000 "🤖 Here goes my message"`. But is there an opposite command, that removes notifications?

I read about [`org.freedesktop.Notifications.CloseNotification(uint id)`](https://askubuntu.com/questions/190406/can-org-freedesktop-notifications-closenotificationuint-id-be-triggered-and-in) but I don't have the message IDs of all the notifications I want to close.

I'm on Arch Linux 5.14.9 running Sway with [mako](https://github.com/emersion/mako) 1.6 as the notification daemon.
