Hi,
I just saw that the notification work for me using the tool you
supplied. One strange thing was that I got notified even though
the amount of data I was using was reducing, so I hit the notification
two ways
+------------+-----------
1G
----> (got notified on increase)
<---- (got notified on decrease)
I am not against the behaviour, but it can be confusing unless
clarified with the event.
