How to write notification displaying application?

[Piotr Husiatyński]

Now it does work, but only if there's another application that is handling
notifications.

I checked documentation for this:
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-daemon.1.html

"Eavesdropping" occurs when an application receives a message that was
explicitly addressed to a name the application does not own, or is a reply
to such a message."

This make sense, because it appears that my code is listening to messages
and gives me those that are matching the filter, but none of those messages
are for my app directry. That's why there's nothing comming if there's no
other application listening to notifications.
Where can I learn how to register my application so that all notifications
will be send directly to it?
