I was thinking about that but my idea was write a telepathy plugin for
WatsApp, this way you will be able to use it with any application which
already uses telepathy as back-end, for example telephony app in the
device, empathy on the desktop, and notification system.

If you have interest to integrate it with telepathy we can avoid the
design since you will use the existent applications. :D
And you choose this way I can help you on that.
