Some other examples: You may have one preferred volume for your headset, and another preferred volume for the loudspeaker. The media player can set correct volume at all times, upon receiving notification. Apps that don't care can ignore this particular event. I find it useful that the phone notices plug/unplug events. I ususally plug in the headset in order to listen to music. The display lights up, so I don't have to waste a screen press on that. I can start the music player directly, because the backlight came on automatically. Since I don't use headphones for anything else, I could customize this further to launch the music player when the headset gets plugged in. There is no such option without a notification interface. You may not find notification useful, but I don't see that as a reason to remove it entirely. Some people have uses for it.
