First of all -thank you omeriko9 for putting your time and effort into this app!
Second I want to share few ideas for improvement:
1. Add vibration
2. Add configurable time period for sound/vibra notifications
3. If you have hard time developing GUI - why don't you use a simple config file that users can edit? With clear options like "enabled=YES", "sound=NO", "sound_file=/usr/home/MyDocs/...", etc. Yes GUI is nicer, but takes more work.
Any way this can turn into "must have" app for N900!

waste battery on a phone which has poor battery anyway?
all this is meant to do is show you if you have miss call or text "if" you have not changed LED colour notification and if you have then its just an extra add on.

Because you have ALREADY missed that vibration when incoming call or SMS arrived. And if phone is in your pocket you can not see the light. And if noisy you can not here the beep. The same as sound.
And I don't know what is the author's idea, but ideas evolve in time.

what if i do not want to check the phone because i'm in meeting or other situation where i'd hate to have continuous vibrate, one it would be annoying and two it would kill battery.

1 minute

If there was a settings panel these could be user configurable settings i.e. Notify user every x minutes via audible alarm or vibrate.
I understand your concerns Ronaldo, I would not want continuous alerts period as this unnecessarily drains the battery and can be annoying for others (i.e. you forget your phone on your desk and it continually beeps or vibrates annoying your coworkers around!). If this was user configurable it would be great.

when I have BOTH a miss call and sms, opening 1 of them will get rid of both notifications. This should not happen because I have not open the other one.

I also thinks the settings menu is the place for that, but as qwerty12 mentioned, it's pretty undocumented and it's much more easy for me to do it in the status menu, so that's my current direction. Nevertheless, in the future I might know enough to move it to the settings menu.
And again, thank you (and everybody else who's testing it) for your help!
