I'm not sure, iirc at a sprint earlier this year we talked about something 
like that, but was for all the applets that are right now in the systray(plus 
eventually random applets the user wants to stuff here in that sidepanel).
I have tought about it since then, but never followed up on that since i can't 
really figure out how it may work.
would it be just notifications? would it there be the other applets as well?
in the case of notifications, when there is none or just a couple, would there 
be a desolate field of emptyness in the sidebar? (and when the panel is at the 
bottom, would they be at the top having a long travel distance? or at the 
bottom looking strange?and when the panel is in a different edge altogether? 
note that on the mac all those questions are far easier, as the panel is 
always fixed at the top)

It's for sure an interesting idea to be explored, but has a lot of questions 
to be answeredboth on the ui and technical sides
