Something else to consider, though more verbose, once you start
passing this many arguments it is a lot easier to make sense out of
the arguments as an object rather than an array. This is how it would
look in a JavaScript framework:

window.showNotification({
        title: 'You\'ve got mail!',
        subtitle: 'From: Santa Claus',
        description: 'What\'s in your wishlist?',
        icon: 'http://www.foo.com/icon.png',
        onclick: function(){
                // Do something
        }
});

or

window.showNotification({
        id: 'myNotification',
        class: 'myNotificationClass',
        title: 'You\'ve got mail!',
        url: 'http://www.foo.com/my_notification.html',
        icon: 'http://www.foo.com/icon.png',
        onclick: function(){
                // Do something
        },
        onSuccess: function(){
                // Do something after the URL is loaded. Could also be called 
onload
or onComplete
        }       
});
