Sure it is nice to notify the user that "Now you can remove your external 
storage". That said, it's not a spontaneous event, but something triggered by 
the user, that's why I'd prefer to keep that in the context of the application 
where the user triggered the operation. In this regard what is done in Dolphin 
seems just fine to me. Not disruptive but the information is given close to 
where the user triggered the teardown.

Regards.
