Bela is right we need to get a notification interceptor in place "Even if we end up having only 95% of all notifications emitted from the interceptor, and the rest directly, that would be fine too."

At the time thinking of this feature, I was debating another idea which is having a dual notification interceptor. One to emits pre-call notification at the bottom of the stack and one emits post-call at the top of the stack. I can't recall why we didn't go with it. Anyway, I'm bringing it up right now just to kick start the thinking process again.
