hildon-home is handling the notification service, so you can hack it to
not handle org.freedesktop.Notifications. The code is in Gitorious:

http://maemo.gitorious.org/fremantle-hildon-desktop/hildon-home

However, I think most of the notification are displayed by the
daemons/applications themselves, so you can only rid some of them,
unless you hack the libhildon1 library so that it does not show
infobanners at all.
