It is not just about notification but the ability to cancel or modify as well.
To give you a bit of background a similar feature already exists for outgoing calls. It allows you to intercept the outgoing call and auto insert say a calling card number and dial codes for outgoing calls or maybe you would use it to block outgoing calls to set numbers. In my case i use it to reroute calls that would cost me through free numbers provided by a voip provider so that for all my calls i pay voip rates on my mobile even though i make the call over the mobile network. A similar case is with sms for me. My mobile provider will charge me between 25cents and $1.50 for sms's depending on the destination but i use a website to send the same sms for 5 cents. Having this functionality allows developers to write applications to intercept all outgoing sms and manipulate or redirect them over other delivery methods that can save users a lot of money. Currently the only way to do this is to write your own sms client. the most famous example of this on Android is Chomp sms. Most developers would prefer to let the users use what ever sms client they want and not have to reinvent the wheel just to catch outgoing sms. There are many more cases on why this would be useful but that is my particular case.
