I'm wondering whether this is still needed. Do we really need progress 
meters in the applications? KDE (or even fd.o) has a central place for 
progress notifications. Shouldn't we use that instead?

The current notifications are anyway way to verbose to be really useful. 
If we remove the superfluous once then we wouldn't flood the 
Notifications and Jobs thingy with items.

If this creates a drag object with the standard mime type for vCards 
then this should be retained (or AkonadiDrag should be extended) because 
this would allow dragging contacts to applications that support 
drag&drop of vCards but that do not (and never will) support drag&drop 
of Akonadi objects.
