I have so many Google Chrome notifications and after 20 notification Windows 10 doesn't allow me to see the older ones. That's why it has very necessary to save them. Is there any plugin that can save my Google Chrome notification in timely manner or will help me to save in CSV or other format?

This will not allow you to save them by itself but here are the logs for chrome notifications.
You could write a quick python script to parse and save the notifications.
C:\Users<YOUR USER>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Platform Notifications\000003.log
You have two options:
- Change Windows so it can store more notifications.
The notifications are all stored in %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Notifications\wpndatabase.db which is a Sqlite db.
If you change the Metadata table, there's two parameters toast:maxCount and toastCondensed:maxCount that control the max number of notifications that windows will display.
Lets you override the 20 per app, 80 total limits.
sqlite3 "%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Notifications\wpndatabase.db" "UPDATE MetaData SET value = '1500' WHERE key = 'toast:maxCount';"
The notification table contains all the current notifications.
- Parse it directly from Chrome Download LevelDBDumper off github LevelDBDumper.exe -d "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Platform Notifications" -o "c:\temp" -t csv
Chrome notifications are stored in a levelDB database in the Platform Notifications folder as other commenters have mentioned.
The DB format was documented here - https://www.giac.org/paper/gcih/20579/google-chrome-notification-analysis-in-depth/128522
