You can simply use libindicate that has multiple bindings, watching for the property "draw-attention". See the examples in the libindicate sources (especially listen-and-print.{py,c}). However you can also avoid any strict dependency on it using plain DBus, you just need to watch for signals the bus com.canonical.indicator.messages at path /com/canonical/indicator/messages/service while the interface is com.canonical.indicator.messages.service.
