Whether it works as an option on one or all is entirely up to you as the developer. I thought that incorporating it into just a single or a few styles would be simpler; if it is easier to add it as a default selection to be shown on any notification I'd encourage you to do that.
And from a personal usage standpoint I strongly believe that many users would find this option exceedingly useful.
