Comment(by plfiorini):

 Here's a brief summary for notifications1.patch.
 Obviously, it's still work in progress (for example since AppGroupView now
 inherits from BBox has lost the collapse and close widgets that will be
 added soon, there are still OnClick* methods to be replace by methods to
 set the on click app signature and message and other things).

 {{{
 Changes to Application Kit:

         * BNotification now inherits from BArchivable.
         * Archiving fields in BNotification starts with an underscore now,
 as done by
           other Haiku archivable classes.
         * BRoster::Notify() doesn't exist anymore, use
 BNotification::Send() instead
           so it's all self-contained in BNotification.
         * BNotification::Progress() returns -1 if notification's type is
           not B_PROGRESS_NOTIFICATION.
         * BNotification::SetProgress() validates the progress passed as
 argument.
         * By default icon is not automatically set.
         * Renamed Application() and SetApplication() to Group() and
 SetGroup().
         * Added BNotification::InitCheck() that returns B_OK if the
 notification object
           has a valid type otherwise an error code.
         * Methods that returns const char* properties now returns NULL if
 the
           string is empty.
         * Added documentation to BNotification except for OnClick methods
 that will
           probably be removed soon.
         * Only notification's type is mandatory for BNotification.

 Changes to notification_server:

         * Removed BorderView.
         * Fixed NotificationView::MouseDown() switching on buttons
           is not valid because it is a bitfield.
         * Fixed typo in NotificationWidow::MessageReceived(), it's
           "error" not "Error".
         * Removed infoview_layout and layout settings.
         * Renamed NotificationWindow::ViewWidth() to
 NotificationWindow::Width().
         * Methods returning icon size, width and timeout in
 NotificationWindow are now const.
         * Check if notification is allowed by looking for sender's
 signature.
         * Property lists indentation.
         * Removed some PushState()/PopState() and Sync() from
 NotificationView::Draw().
         * Removed some PushState()/PopState() and Sync() in
 AppGroupView::Draw().
         * Removed NotificationView::SetPosition().
         * AppGroupView inherits from BBox.

 Changes to notify:

         * No manual memory allocation, use BString instead of char*.
         * Renamed all application occurences to group.
         * Title and group are not mandatory.
