Giver uses the notification area in a totally wrong way

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Giver is a really useful app, but why should I want it to live in the
/notification/ area? That area is for /notifications/ not to show the user
a list of running applications. Giver could use it to make me aware that
somebody sends me a file, though.
Please, if you misuse the notification area in such a way, at least make it
an option.
