I'm kind swamped today, but the simplest thing you can do is:

private def notifyListen = {
  MyUserThingy.gotAListenEventFor(User.currentUser)
  false
}

private def notifyUnlisten = {
  MyUserThingy.gotAnUnlistenEventFor(User.currentUser)
  false
}

override def highPriority = {
  case Listen(_, _, _) if notifyListen => ()
  case Unlisten(_) if notifyUnlisten => ()
}

Each time the browser registers as a listener, you'll get a notification
(the beginning of the long poll).  Each time the browser unregisters as a
listener (the end of the long poll), you'll get a notification.

This stuff is kinda internal and may change (although there's no plans to
change the Listen/Unlisten logic).
