Notifications are a property of a resource, so the method is defined for 
resources but not providers. You could do something like 
`new_resource.notifies(ARGS)` I think. Be sure to test that though, there is 
a possible gotcha involving looking up the actual ruby object that matches 
the 'service[apache2]’ string.
