getnotify() method tries to get
  a notify from the server (from the SQL
  statement NOTIFY). If the server returns
  no notify, the methods returns None. Otherwise, it returns a
  tuple (couple) (relname, pid), where
  relname is the name of the notify and
  pid the process id of the connection
  that triggered the notify. Remember to do a listen query first
  otherwise getnotify will always return None.
