When you setup the globals of your plugin you can specify a notification function like so:
`function log_setup_globals()
{
global $bp;

// some stuff here

$bp->logbooks->format_notification_function = ‘log_format_notifications’;

// some more stuff here
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_globals’, ‘log_setup_globals’ );`

This function might look something like this then:
`function log_format_notifications( $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items )
{
global $bp;

if( ‘new_dive’ == $action )
{
if ( (int)$total_items > 1 )
return apply_filters( ‘log_multiple_verifications_notification’, ‘loggedin_user->domain . ‘logbook/verifications/” title=”‘ . __( ‘Verifications’, ‘logs’ ) . ‘”>’ . sprintf( __(‘You have %d new logbook verifications’, ‘logs’ ), (int)$total_items ) . ‘‘, $total_items );
else
return apply_filters( ‘log_single_verification_notification’, ‘loggedin_user->domain . ‘logbook/verifications/” title=”‘ . __( ‘Verifications’, ‘logs’ ) . ‘”>’ . sprintf( __(‘You have %d new logbook verification’, ‘logs’ ), (int)$total_items ) . ‘‘, $total_items );
}

do_action( ‘log_format_notifications’, $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items );

return false;
}`

You can then remove these notifications with a function like this:
`function log_remove_screen_notifications()
{
global $bp;

bp_core_delete_notifications_for_user_by_type( $bp->loggedin_user->id, $bp->logbooks->name, ‘new_dive’ );
}
add_action( ‘log_verifications_screen’, ‘log_remove_screen_notifications’ );`

For this to work you have to place the do_action call to log_verifications_screen on the page that is linked in the notification.

To record a notification you call this function like so:
`bp_core_add_notification( $dive_id, $user_id, ‘logbooks’, ‘new_dive’ );`

I copied the above from a plugin I’m working on at the moment. Also, have a look at the skeleton component and the various BP functions.

Enjoy!

You can only turn email notifications off via that settings page. Notifications in the admin bar are different. You’d have to code it into the above functions if you only want notifications on specific events.
