Pin It GNOME Extension
GNOME Shell Extension to add your simple notes to the notification area.
Click on tray icon, it will show up a dialog where you can input your notification title, message and optionally icon(default will be same as the extension icon).
Important: This extension does not log your notifications to a file; do not put information that you would care if it's lost.
Due to the limit on the GNOME Shell Version 45 & 46, only the 3 most recent notifications are shown for every app, "so notifications can disappear before you have a chance to act on them"(blogs.gnome.org).
