Brandon, that would be fine if all notifications had the same importance, but
that is no longer true. Now that Flow is connected to Echo, there are high
importance notifications (alerts) and low importance (messages).

When the bubble lights up, I'd want to know, without having to open it first,
whether it contains some alerts to read it right now (when someone replies to
my talk or pings me), or just messages to a topics I'm subscribed to, so that I
can leave it unread for a while. For that, the bubble should light up with
different styles if it contains alerts or not.

Another option is to allow the user to choose what messages (i.e. from what
boards) are important enough to raise a notification, instead of all messages
raising one. This way there would be no difference of importance.
