I would agree with that as long as there is an option to have both a visual (ie. blinking bell icon in the notification area) and a user definable auditory alarm (ie. WAV file) to ensure that your attention is acquired. If you are busy and intently working on something, the lack of a clear "signal" could result in your missing the notification area alert in lieu of a dialog.
