Hi,

On my Mac i use a notification framework calls Growl (which is similar to Specto, Mumbles or GNotify in the linux world.
One advantage is that there is a plugin called Prowl, which is basically a plugin for Growl and an App for the iPhone.
So it allows you to forward all the notifications send on a local machine, to be forwarded on a iPhone or ipod Touch.
pretty useful if you have some hardware you have to watch or if you wait for a specific mail or whatever... your Mac at home can watch what ever had to be checked and send you a notification directly to your device (if you have a connection).

so i was wondering if someone is on the way to implement some kind of notification system like that?

IMHO the system is a bit different to the normal push email system. it is more the underlaying system on which the push mail system is running.

edit: i forgot we got libnotify already. so we basically have something like growl already... so the prowl part is missing.

will it be possible to further extend this to email and social network push messages?

I'd also like to see this to happen, since I tend to keep my N900 hidden, so that even I won't always notice, that it's ringing or I've received a message. This would really be a great improvement, and I'd vote for it, if I could find the brainstorm.

PS: I have quite low knowledge on Maemo's actions/programs/etc so I'll have to ask this. Is the "libnotify" included in the system?
