A simple on screen notification (CSA - Center screen announcement) can be created very easily.
But they do not show at the same time, only after each other. Like error messages or server wide announcements like "Server will be down in ... minutes".

But having different icons staying on the UI, which you are able to move etc. isn't that easy. You need to create the controls etc.
And what you also already noticed is that the total code around it, to "trigger" these annoucements, will not be always easy.Some depend on abilityIds used, others on buffs you get on your char or other chars (bosses e.g.), others on ingame events one can monitor, etc.

That's why I thought an addon which can define custom controls and buff bars would be the best to add notification messages or icons maybe as well which can be defined according to your needs (buff on player, like Srendarr does with it's custom buff bars / buff on boss / event triggered / whatever is possible).

Nevertehless this will become a lot of work no matter if a new addon would be created or an exisitng one needs can be enhanched. Imo enhancing exsiting ones would be easier IF the addon dev working on it is willing to and got the time.
