Do apps generally do this? I've never run into one that doesn't expect me to type in the number sent via SMS or email, rather than grabbing it themselves.

I don't use a lot of apps on my android phone, though, so maybe this is a dumb question to those who do.

Most apps don't read notifications for that purpose, and I'm not sure they'd be allowed in the Play Store if they wanted the permission just for that. It's mainly used for automation and sending notifications to other devices like PCs and maybe smartwatches.
