Comment (by celloexpressions):

 @karmatosed there isn't a style for this yet. This global notifications
 area would link to the different settings that have notifications (added
 in 4.6), which becomes necessary once there are multiple.

 I think the biggest problem here is the clutter introduced by the
 snapshots UI; without that, the concept of an icon or notification bubble
 of some sort will be the best solution, and it should open in a slide-down
 section like that. The notifications should be dismiss-able from here
 (especially for warnings and info), and they should have the same padding
 and margins as they do elsewhere - they're too condensed in the
 screenshots above. The color probably shouldn't be red, at least not that
 red. Rather, we'll want to match an existing color and possibly key to the
 notification color in color schemes. Another option could be to pair the
 count with a notification icon of some sort and use the secondary button
 style (or similar) for them grouped together.

 In terms of the snapshots UI, I'm envisioning we'll do a split button on
 the save & publish button, with an arrow icon on the right that pulls down
 a section with all of the snapshots-related functionality (including the
 save/update button) to keep the top level simple and reduce the use of
 icons. On a side note, the background color of the drop-section should be
 #eee, not white, as it is in the notifications screenshot.
