Hey everyone.

I really like this idea. It will allow unofficial clients to get 
notifications from online services which is for me one of the most 
important problems of the platform right now.

To name another example, Ubuntu Hangups would be able to show 
notifications if this proposal gets realized.

This would also solve 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-application-lifecycle/+bug/1502090.

All the best,
Tim
