I don't think chatting is a good use case for notifications. And we already have XMPP and the Chat activity (they even work with non-Sugar users up to some extent!) for that. If there's something about it that you don't like, please bring it up so we can fix Chat (or XMPP support in general) instead of bending new tools to do the same. One improvement that came up in the past but never got implemented is overlay chat for activities [1].
