It's possible but I don't think it's useful to show such info for all notifications. |
Those 4 level I mention are just an idea. What I think is useful is to have some sort of visual indication of how important the notification is. And if that's configurable it would be even better (for instance the ability to configure a color for each type of notification reason). |
