Let's write some code!

Works well with Aerys

$services = new SplQueue();

$services->enqueue(
    new Notifier\Service\Twitter(
        getenv("SERVICE_TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY"),
        getenv("SERVICE_TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET"),
        getenv("SERVICE_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN"),
        getenv("SERVICE_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET")
    )
);

$services->enqueue(
    new Notifier\Service\Gmail(
        getenv("SERVICE_GMAIL_USERNAME"),
        getenv("SERVICE_GMAIL_PASSWORD")
    )
);

$loop->setInterval(function() use ($loop, $board, $services) {
    $current = null;

    foreach ($services as $service) {
        if ($service->hasNotifications()) {
            $current = $service;
            break;
        }
    }

    $colors = $current->colors();

    $board->pins[10]->analog = $colors[0];
    $board->pins[11]->analog = $colors[1];
    $board->pins[9]->analog = $colors[2];

    $loop->setTimeout(function() use ($board) {
        $board->pins[10]->analog = 1;
        $board->pins[11]->analog = 1;
        $board->pins[9]->analog = 1;
    }, 1000 * 2);
}, 1000 * 5);

$loop->setInterval(function() use ($board, $current) {
    if ($board->pins[14]->analog < 0.1) {
        $current->clearNotifications();
    }
}, 50);

So, what's the point?
