Extending Elgg Notifications

In this topic I will be discussing and explaining extending the elgg-notify modification of the elgg notifications plugin. The modification provides an ajax menu of new incoming events in realtime. The plugin itself does not need to be extended, but its functionality needs to be extended into the various plugins you may use with your site. What my main focus will be is to define the information thats needed to implement the functions as well as give examples of implementation in plugins that i've already modified. If you've figured out the implementation of any plugins and would care to explain your method, the community would greatly appreciate it ;)
