For pop-up notifications I use an app called Boxcar. It sends you push notifications for email, twitter, facebook and other things. It's great when you're awake, obnoxious when you're sleeping. It has a quiet mode that lets you restrict when the push notifications come in.

Just another public service announcement about apps like Boxcar - when you use a third-party app/service like that to generate push notifications for other sites or services, you are essentially handing over all your login info to an untrusted third party.
For many sites it wouldn’t be a big deal (who cares if your twitter account gets hacked, really), but I also see people using it for corporate stuff, like push notifications from their internal email systems at work, and that’s where it gets really dangerous.
