The commentary at the top of notify.el says:

,----
| ;; This provides a single function, `notify', that will produce a notify
| ;; pop-up via D-Bus, libnotify, simple message or growl.
| ;; To use, just put (autoload 'notify "notify" "Notify TITLE, BODY.")
| ;;  in your init file.  You may override default chosen notification
| ;;  method by assigning `notify-method' to one of 'notify-via-dbus
| ;; 'notify-via-libnotify or 'notify-via-message
`----

Does that help? You probably need to set notify-method to something
reasonable for your platform. BTW, completely untested.

There are also some relevant answers in the FAQ:
