$notifier = new DefaultNotifier();

// Create your notification
$notification =
    (new Notification())
    ->setTitle('Notification title')
    ->setBody('This is the body of your notification')
    ->setIcon(__DIR__.'/path/to/your/icon.png')
    ->addOption('subtitle', 'This is a subtitle') // Only works on macOS (AppleScriptDriver)
