Unfortunately libnotify didn't really turn up after the last stable  
version of the HIG was released, so no, that version has nothing about  
it.  The unstable draft version has a placeholder for libnotify  
guidelines[1], but they need fleshing out properly, once we've decided  
how best to move forward with the next release of the HIG generally.

Cheeri,
