## `NotificationCenter`

class `IPython.kernel.core.notification.``NotificationCenter`

  Bases: `object`

  Synchronous notification center

  Examples

      >>> import IPython.kernel.core.notification as notification
      >>> def callback(theType, theSender, args={}):
      ...     print theType,theSender,args
      ...
      >>> notification.sharedCenter.add_observer(callback, 'NOTIFICATION_TYPE', None)
      >>> notification.sharedCenter.post_notification('NOTIFICATION_TYPE', object())
      NOTIFICATION_TYPE ...

  `__init__`()
  `add_observer`()

    Add an observer callback to this notification center.

    The given callback will be called upon posting of notifications of the given type/sender and will receive any additional kwargs passed to post_notification.

    Parameters : | observerCallback : callable Callable. Must take at least two arguments:: observerCallback(type, sender, args={}) theType : hashable The notification type. If None, all notifications from sender will be posted. sender : hashable The notification sender. If None, all notifications of theType will be posted.

  `post_notification`()

    Post notification (type,sender,**kwargs) to all registered observers.

    Implementation notes:

    - If no registered observers, performance is O(1).
    - Notificaiton order is undefined.
    - Notifications are posted synchronously.
  `remove_all_observers`()

    Removes all observers from this notification center
