  It's fine for plasmoids to send notifications. But when the system tray popup is open, a better location for the feedback is right there, where your eyeballs are currently looking. In principle, notifications are used for apps that you aren't actively using, to inform you of something happening that you might otherwise miss. If you're currently using the app, the app can show you the information directly, with no need to send a notification.
