- As I understand it, *anyone* can use the notification manager.
- Background apps, extensions, interrupt tasks, you name it.
- I presume there are some constraints related to whether your
- completion routine will still be around (if your bg-app is
- planning to quit and puts up a notification, you have to make
- sure it doesn't quit before the completion routine is called,
- or find some other way around this problem), but that's about
- it.
