That's an interesting idea.. I'm not really sure if it's easy to code...

Anyways I proposed something similar at bugs.kde.org, at least to get
a graphical feedback if the notification is hidden: to show an
animated icon + adding some kind of tooltip:  You can see my proposals
at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178938

I tried to implement it one time... but I failed.... cause I don't
know the whole system.. and I was probably relaying on some strange
hacks...
