[msm1992]

Problem

Problem

• APIM currently offers a notification mechanism that operates through the database.
• APIM users might want to use different notification modes (ex: email, sms etc) and to support such requirements current design would require extensive modifications.

Solution

• Implement an extensible notification system following a pub-sub architecture.
• Continuation of https://github.com/wso2/api-manager/issues/2383
