You can achieve your result with this example.

You have to add attribute selected which option you want to select by default.

You have to put if condition when you have some value exact match with option value than you can select option by default.

Example

<option value="notification_default" <?php if( $i == 'notification_default'): echo 'selected="selected"'; endif; ?>>Default Notification</option>

You can add this in your option.

<select multiple class="selectpicker" data-live-search="true" id="nama_kat" name="nama_kat[]" form="tambahposting">
      <option value="1">test 1</option>
      <option value="2">test 2</option>
      <option value="3" selected="selected">default notification</option>
      <option value="4">test 4</option>
      <option value="5">test 5</option>
</select>
