Hi,

With org-notify.el you don't need an external messaging app, you can do
all in emacs.

It's also optional. When the "notify" property is missing, a default
value will be used.

Today, org-notify.el requires a "DEADLINE"-timestamp, but this can
easily be changed in the code.

See above. There are predefined functions for displaying a message in
the minibuffer or in a new emacs window, and you can define other
functions, that do whatever you want (something with the modeline for
example).
