    @brief
        A Notification represents a short message used to inform the player about something that just happened. With the @ref orxonox::NotificationManager "NotificationManager" a Notification can be sent from any part of orxonox and is then displayed by the proper @ref orxonox::NotificationQueue "NotificationQueue(s)" (depending on which senders the specific @ref orxonox::NotificationQueue "NotificationQueues" accepts).

        A Notification is just a data structure that is used internally by the Notifications module.

    @brief
        The Singleton NotificationManager is a NotificationListener and functions as a gateway between @ref orxonox::Notification "Notifications" and @ref orxonox::NotificationQueue "NotificationQueues".
        It receives, organizes @ref orxonox::Notification "Notifications" and the redistributes them to the specific @ref orxonox::NotificationQueue "NotificationQueues".
        It also works as a liaison between the @ref orxonox::NotificationQueue "NotificationQueues" and the GUI that displays notification, called NotificationLayer.
