Facebook app, notify user

I am new to facebook app. I want to make a simple learning application. I want to create an application that visits mysite.com/page.json and prints some pretty html. Then I would like to scan json for "private_message" and notify the user (rather than posting it on the wall) about pm and print the message in my notification area.

Later, mostly I want to study. Where can I find the API link? I looked at fql / notification , but it looks like it is looking at notifications when I want to post a notification.

Applications cannot send private messages to users. Here is a discussion on facebook developer forums. Applications have read-only access to the inbox with read_mailbox permissions.

I looked at as much documentation on this topic as I can find on the Facebook developer portal, and all I can find are ways to read notifications (the world icon at the top of the page) and mark notifications as unread, but I can’t find a way to create them. The best documentation I found on this topic was here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#notifications

Anyone have any better info on this?
