Workaround:
hack something together in ruby/python/<insert_other_script_language_of_choice_with_dbus_support_here>.

As I have done here:
https://github.com/marvinthepa/cake/blob/master/bin/notify
(probably not idiomatic Ruby, I know much more Python and Perl..). Maybe I will add the missing stuff so that it is fully backward-compatible to notify-send and can work as a drop in. Maybe I won't.

@quequotion:
You can't pick the ID yourself, you have to take the one that the notification-daemon sends back via dbus. It's an INT32, so "tvvolume" won't be possible.
