Right. I would implement the fallback inside `notifications-notify' and
let the user customize that, so Emacs can have a central dispatcher for
general notifications (as opposed to log messages).

Most graphical platform have a desktop-level notification system that's
familiar to users, so plugging into that instead of inventing something
new would make sense.

Can you explain why it's not? Behavior, capabilities, GUI-only,
something else?
