Ios 12.1.1 will allow you to interact with notifications through haptic touch on iphone xr

Among the few differences between the iPhone XS and the iPhone XR, is that the screen of the latter does not show pressure sensitivity and therefore lacks the 3D Touch function. This lack has been replaced by Apple with something that has called "Haptic Touch" that combines the gesture of a normal long press with haptic feedback, just as holding the space bar serves to activate the virtual trackpad, or in the same way that we activate flashlight or camera from the lock screen. With the next update, the Cupertino company will enhance this feature of the iPhone XR.

With Haptic Touch you will expand the information of the notifications

As revealed in the second beta of iOS 12.1.1, the following software update will allow the display of notifications via Haptic Touch on the iPhone XR.

It is unlikely that certain features present with 3D Touch, such as "Peek and Pop", will make an appearance on the iPhone XR, basically because they are based on the distinction of different levels of pressure, so they cannot be reduced a mere long press.

But with the arrival of iOS 12.1.1, it will be possible to make a long press on a notification to be able to view its content and even access certain quick actions. This is how this new feature is shown on an iPhone XR with iOS 12.1.1.:

Without a doubt it is a much better shortcut than sliding the notification from one side to have to press the "View" button. On the other hand, it is also true that, while the 3D Touch responds immediately without waiting to detect an increase in pressure, this system requires a minimum wait to check if the user is indeed performing a long press.

By the way, the arrival of this feature will be exclusive to the iPhone XR, so if you have a previous device, you should know that Apple has not been generous about it and you will not have it in the next update.
