Ähem... just checked ("readingisbetterthanguessingreadingisbetterthan...") 
galago supports an urgency hint anyway (3 levels, Low/Normal/Critical):
http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x320.html
http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x344.html
It's not mandantory, though.

The rest is in doubt client specific (the plasmoid could provide an extra slot 
to enter a quiet mode (just popping up on critical messages) and various apps 
(kpresenter) could make use of that
You can also have a button on your desk to control it this way in case (until 
impress supports it as well)
Better was of course to get such extension into the protocol.
