Haven't read the code so grain of salt and all that, but for most cases I would guess that the notification structure has a field for whether you have read it. In this case typically the memory is reserved the same, but the boolean marking read/unread will be toggled when you read it. It shouldn't impact storage

I haven't looked myself of course, but probably not: It's likely just a flag that exists and takes up the same amount of space either way.
