By those definitions, as an asynchronous presentation of information, a notification just about _has_ to be obtrusive to some degree (or it would always be overlooked), but it doesn't have to be intrusive (interfering with one's work flow).

So the word seems to me quite appropriate for a concise statement of Growl's goal, as well as for indicating the difficulty of fully satisfying that goal.
