+    * Displays a sliding notification window.
+    *
+    * @param imageUrl       A URL identifying the image to put in the alert.
+    *                       The OS X implemenation limits the amount of time it
+    *                       will wait for an icon to load to six seconds. After
+    *                       that time the alert will show with no icon.
+    * @param title          The title for the alert.
+    * @param text           The contents of the alert.
+    * @param textClickable  If true, causes the alert text to look like a link
+    *                       and notifies the listener when user attempts to 
+    *                       click the alert text.
+    * @param cookie         A blind cookie the alert will pass back to the 
+    *                       consumer during the alert listener callbacks.
+    * @param alertListener  Used for callbacks. May be null if the caller 
+    *                       doesn't care about callbacks.
+    * @param name           The name of the notification. This is currently only
+    *                       used on Android and OS X. On Android the name is
+    *                       hashed and used as a notification ID. Notifications
+    *                       will replace previous notifications with the same name.
+    * @param dir            Bidi override for the title. Valid values are
+    *                       "auto", "ltr" or "rtl". Only available on supported
+    *                       platforms.
+    * @param lang           Language of title and text of the alert. Only available
+    *                       on supported platforms.
+    * @throws NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE If the notification cannot be displayed.
+    *
+    * The following arguments will be passed to the alertListener's observe() 
+    * method:
+    *   subject - null
+    *   topic   - "alertfinished" when the alert goes away
+    *             "alertclickcallback" when the text is clicked
+    *             "alertshow" when the alert is shown
+    *   data    - the value of the cookie parameter passed to showAlertNotification.
+    *
+    * @note Depending on current circumstances (if the user's in a fullscreen
+    *       application, for instance), the alert might not be displayed at all.
+    *       In that case, if an alert listener is passed in it will receive the
+    *       "alertfinished" notification immediately.
