Of course, please don't do that :b
Libnotify is for system-wide notification messages, not individual
application UIs. Although it could be used for what you want on its
own, we benefit from semantics in delivering a flexible software
ecosystem.
Do check out the notification-daemon source code, however, for a great
example of how to do this :) (That's the implementation used in Fedora
which does the colourful bubbles).

Notify-osd is the implementation used in Ubuntu. It's really easy to
understand the source code since it's quite young and has a very
specific design, so it could be worth playing with.

Good luck!
