You could maybe use a composite participant. There's an example of it in the etc/engine/participant-map2.xml that comes with OpenWFE. Isn't the fact of emitting a workitem towards your participants already some kind of notification to your application ? Maybe the idea would be to turn that the other way : your participant implementation could receive the workitem and notify other parts of the application.
