Notification Framework

The Notification Framework provides a system for declaring events, posting notifications about an event and listening for events. Parcels authors can declare new Events and anyone can subscribe to them. The Notification Manager provides a way for clients to post notifications when they occur, and to subscribe to them in order to be notified as necessary. Basically, you are able to declare an event and post notifications about the event. Anyone interested in that event can subscribe to it (or a list of events) and will receive a callback when an event subscribed to is posted.

Event declarations are persisted in the repository while subscriptions are not. When you post a notification it is currently handled synchronously but in 0.4 they will be handled asynchronously.
