My own recollection from looking at LISTEN/NOTIFY is that, yes, it
offers a mechanism for message passing among sessions, but the message
/reception/ part is very closely bound to the frontend/backend protocol.

That is, a message sent in session B can be received in session A, but
it pretty much goes flying straight out the network connection to
/the connected client associated with session A/.

If you're actually working /in the backend/ of session A (say, in a
server-side PL), it seemed to be unexpectedly difficult to find a way
to hook those notifications. But I looked at it only briefly, and
some time ago.
