Actually, we should have a seperate registry for these.
We really want to create some common sorts of notifications that many apps
can send. That's why the actual notification has two fields, a notify type
and a broadcaster.
You should definitely use your registered creatorID for the broadcaster field.
For the notification type, if you expect it to be a shared notification you
should probably propose a code for it here on this list, and get some
agreement about the syntax, params, etc. We should probably put these in
the Palm all-lowercase namespace.
For notifications that you expect to keep private between your apps, you
should probably just use your registered creator ID.
