Yes. 

Older APIs were for supported applications to notify others. But this was 
optional, so only a few do.
Newer APIs are on lower level so they notice all changes.

Sorry, no.

Well, I thought about that. But those classes are often very different.
For example with notifications on Mac we can include a dictionary with a lot of 
data. On Windows we only include two integers. That's difficult to mix without 
reducing Mac's functionality.

If someone has time to write a wrapper, I'm happy to include it as an example 
project.
