Thought I'd give it a quick check, but I can't get action from it.
If I run it I see the icon in the Deskbar but 'notify' doesn't show
anything.  (If I remove it again and restart the system one, things
still don't work.  Have to reboot.)
You will probably need to remove the mime entry for the current notification server and then run the new server for Haiku to re-register the new location to find the server binary (this is important because I have added a Deskbar replicant).
Can't do that, because the entry is in ..system/data/mime_db!
However, I think the entry that gets generated in config/settings/mime_db
should override that, right?
Probably have to black list, that's what I did.  Here's the blacklist:

~> cat /boot/system/settings/packages
Package haiku {
       EntryBlacklist {
               servers/notification_server
       }
}

Then reboot and manually run the new server. Should be able to run from anywhere, I've got it on a non boot volume.
