Tantalizing, to be able to see them and not act on them programmatically.

Lots of applications come to mind, if such a mechanism were available. To be able to know when a certain song is playing in iTunes Radio and crank up the volume, or to send out a text/email/tweet when certain notifications are posted, etc. I would think this would be Generally Useful. Wish there were a way...
