I tried a while back, it's not as straightforward one could think.
You can't use notify-send, because it doesn't let you replace an
outstanding notification, so if you press five times "volume up" you
fill your screen with notifications.
You can't use dbus-send, because it doesn't support nested
dictionaries, which are needed for the dbus interface of the
notification daemon.
It could be done with python, but is it worth it? Or someone could
write a C program linking to libnotify, but the it would be better to
improve notify-send to support notification replacement.
Cheers,
Luca
