[maemo-developers] Notifications and Fremantle: How should they be done?

[From: daniel wilms]

Hi,

right now the described notification is not meant to be used by 3rd 
party developers. Please try to follow the instructions of the HIG [1] 
on how to display information to the user. I don't know what you want to 
achieve, but I guess a banner could be the right way to do it.
