I don't believe the Finder is emitting notifications, as such. It's just passing the file to Launch Services (possibly via NSWorkspace), just like any other app would to open a document. If you really just want to monitor the Recent Items menu, you can look into the LSSharedFileList API and the LSSharedFileListAddObserver() function. See the header at /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Headers/LSSharedFileList.h.
