We don't feel this is a feature that belongs to in a messaging
application, so this is not something we are currently likely to accept
into Pidgin.  However, it should be reasonably easy to do this as a
plugin that inserts notifications somewhere into the user interface.

Pidgin's goal is to implement functions related to the IM services in
uniform ways for a unified UI, and we prefer not to add features that
have no association with an IM service to the client.
