just my 2 cents on top of what has already been said, i agree with other reviews, the patch generally looks fine, the timer shouldn't be repeating (using restart() instead of running=true in onTriggered should fix the issue)
and i would still make sure there is a not too long maximum timeout after wich the notification is hidden (as paradigm, the data that is sent by applications is a model to be considered "hints" that may or may not be followed by the visualization, that as in any model/view situation, it has the final say on the matter)
