In general, we prefer to use data-driven approaches, where you
tell us in advance what you want to do when a space switch happens
("move this window to the active space", for example), and we take
care of doing it for you. That allows us to keep the space switch
animation fast and fluid, and also allows us to change the space
switch behavior in future releases while still keeping
compatibility with what your app requested.
Okay, so that explains why there is no notification. Now can you
explain why there is no API to actually switch spaces?
Probably a case of applications switching spaces for users would get
incredibly annoying when they started doing things the user didn't
want to happen.

Ah - but isn't that entirely for the consumer of said application to
decide? 'Annoying' is subjective, and I'd imagine that normal market
forces (read: annoyed users) would pretty quickly bring enough
pressure to bear (i.e. not buy software) from a developer that did
unintuitive things with spaces. I for one have customers asking me to
perform switches in Spaces, and cant provide them this feature at
present.
