You haven't been following this thread it would seem.

I am not looking for any notifier, or any addon to do with anything to 
do with a notifier. The OP asked some question about such a notifier, 
got some responses; I asked a question, and in which you are now 
involved, and got yourself quagmired in :-) .

All I asked is what is shown in the posts to which you are now 
responding to (above) :-) .
