Rather than polling every second, use the new notifier to do this at
exactly the right moment.

I believe that we should rather return NOTIFY_DONE here.
It is rather a formal change. The value is 0 as well.

That said, I have never really understood the difference between
NOTIFY_OK and NOTIFY_DONE.

Anyway, the code looks good to me:
