I think that the best solution would be to display a services status tab in ksysguard. In the meatime i think that the notification should be hidden, if an user is interested about indexing status should open the nepomuk status app that is displayed in the systray. A large number of users agree with a power conservative strategy by default while running on battery.

I agree. We need profiles for power saving strategy: on tablets the default device usage is without power adapter and indexing should continue. I think you should get in contact with Dario Freddi (drf).
