/**
 * A notification message, used to display temporary messages to the user - for
 * example "Document saved", or "Save failed".
 * <p>
 * The notification message can consist of several parts: caption, description
 * and icon. It is usually used with only caption - one should be wary of
 * filling the notification with too much information.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The notification message tries to be as unobtrusive as possible, while still
 * drawing needed attention. There are several basic types of messages that can
 * be used in different situations:
 * <ul>
 * <li>TYPE_HUMANIZED_MESSAGE fades away quickly as soon as the user uses the
 * mouse or types something. It can be used to show fairly unimportant messages,
 * such as feedback that an operation succeeded ("Document Saved") - the kind of
 * messages the user ignores once the application is familiar.</li>
 * <li>TYPE_WARNING_MESSAGE is shown for a short while after the user uses the
 * mouse or types something. It's default style is also more noticeable than the
 * humanized message. It can be used for messages that do not contain a lot of
 * important information, but should be noticed by the user. Despite the name,
 * it does not have to be a warning, but can be used instead of the humanized
 * message whenever you want to make the message a little more noticeable.</li>
 * <li>TYPE_ERROR_MESSAGE requires to user to click it before disappearing, and
 * can be used for critical messages.</li>
 * <li>TYPE_TRAY_NOTIFICATION is shown for a while in the lower left corner of
 * the window, and can be used for "convenience notifications" that do not have
 * to be noticed immediately, and should not interfere with the current task -
 * for instance to show "You have a new message in your inbox" while the user is
 * working in some other area of the application.</li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * In addition to the basic pre-configured types, a Notification can also be
 * configured to show up in a custom position, for a specified time (or until
 * clicked), and with a custom stylename. An icon can also be added.
 * </p>
