hmm, it's not supposed to be linked in any ways with the action button, except 
that it pops up covering it

you should have a function "showPassiveNotification" available from anywhere 
(since it's in Applicationwindow that's the root element, should be always in 
context from anywhere)

I have to check, there may be a bug there: where is that you are trying to use 
it? any branch/patch i can try over subsurface master to see if i can make it 
work how the api is supposed (or, to reproduce the bug if it doesn't work)?

the notification is a private component, so it's not supposed to be used like 
that (in this case it works because subsurface includes the controls as a 
subdirectory, but that may become not true anymore as deployment and build 
system issues gets more ironed out)
