Because sending a launch code to every app installed takes a lot of time,
if there are a lot of apps. With the notification manager, only the apps
who care get notified. Much, much faster.

Good question. Best to assume you don't have globals; you nearly always won't.

Just use the creator id registry for the notification codes.
