You can do this:

   ruby_block "some ruby code" do
     block do
       # the actual stuff in the block
     end
     notifies :action, "resource[other resource]"
   end

Note that the notifies goes after the `block` parameter's block.

...or before.  Outside of, anyway.  

However, the important thing to note is that the notification is unconditional; if the Ruby block executes, the notification is sent. There is currently no way (AFAIK) for a Ruby block to change its updated_by_last_action state to false.
