Comment (by folletto):

 This is great, I'm glad to see it picking up steam. :)

 For now, I just want to cross wires with another discussion that is
 waiting for developers to happen, which is the global navigation from the
 WordPress toolbar. It has already a solid design there, and just needs
 someone to pick up and start the feature plugin. It's here:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32678

 Why am I mentioning this that might seem unrelated? Two reasons:

 1. The redesigned navigation in that ticket also has an idea for a
 lightweight notification indicator (just that, it doesn't go in too much
 detail) so might be nice to review the last design there and see if
 there's something that can be borrowed and iterated.
 2. While working on the API, it would be nice if it would keep in mind the
 ability to create "multiple" notification streams, as from the design
 above it could be useful to toggle other kinds of notifications. What I
 mean with this is that the "default" stream is the one shown in the
 designs in this thread, but in the future we could have another one that
 shows dots on specific areas on the admin (think also: multisite) to
 indicate there's a notification waiting not globally, but in that specific
 sub-stream.

 While this second bit of UI doesn't have to be built right now, it would
 be nice to include multisite and multi-stream in the API level since the
 beginning (even just as reserved fields initially with a fixed value, yet
 standardized) — Having the API driven by iterated designs, but being built
 first, allows a lean approach to the problem without exploding the scope.
