That is correct. The account-polld daemon is intended as an interim solution to provide notifications for some commonly used services at a time when we lack the market share to get Facebook, Twitter, etc to engineer Ubuntu specific solutions. If any of those services decided to add support for Ubuntu push notifications, the corresponding code in account-polld would likely be removed. For any anything new, the push notification service is recommended. James.
