The User Notifications module was born out of the need for a Facebook Style notifications system where each user can see a list of notifications related to them.
The module offers a new Rules action "Send a new notification to a user" which allows admin users to trigger notifications to be sent when certain events occur on a site.
A default notification system is provided (based heavily on the privatemsg module code, thank you to litwol) for sending out notifications.
This default notifications system can be disable or complimented by enabling the messaging module API and send notifications via the methods offered there (mail, private message, sms etc).
Basic setup instructions can be found here: http://drupal.org/node/1080480
The module is in active development and will be part of the DrupalSN.com upgrade which will initial be to Drupal 6.
A Drupal 7 version will come in time.
