How is it possible that there's no service that owns
'org.freedesktop.Notifications'
name?  Can you give more context?  Specific OS?  Embedded system?
In my situation (desktop Gnome-based Linux) it's always either gnome-shell
or notification-daemon.

So do you want only to monitor notifications or take them over?
