No, AFAIK it does not do that.  It _might_ for itself, but certainly not for 
other apps.  However, apps that use Growl and notify you of updates might use 
Growl to do so.

For what it's worth, I use AppFresh to help me keep most apps current.  But it 
doesn't catch everything either - probably nothing does.  In addition to that 
(and the Mac App Store/Software Update, which certainly at 10.9.x are unified), 
I also go through my collection of browsers every now and then and have them 
check for updates...since a vulnerable browser is a good way to get in trouble. 
 I also have MacPorts, and it has its own mechanism (port selfupdate / port 
list outdated) to indicate which of the programs it installs need updating.
