As Aaron said, it's not possible with KDE 4.4.
however it's possible in trunk, so will in KDE 4.5
i've put an example in the kde-examples svn directory (recomended to try to 
everyone is doing a javascript)
in brief, what you have to do is the following

    engine = dataEngine("notifications");
    service = engine.serviceForSource("notification");
    op = service.operationDescription("createNotification");
    op["appName"] = "foobar";
    op["appIcon"] = "konqueror";
    op["summary"] = "this is a summary";
    op["body"] = "body of notification";
    op["timeout"] = 2000;

    service.startOperationCall(op);

as i said is necessary to have trunk and actions are (yet?) not supported
