It's not necessary for Java, the Android APIs are just horribly written, and the notification is a lot more involved than you'd think because it ties into how the OOM treats your app and the intent system

I think I get why the notification stuff is so complicated (there's a lot of stuff going on, after all!)

It always feels like Android shipped with the low-level API but forgot to provider a higher-level API for the 95% case
