Actually I want to show some sort of hide transition effect for popup. For this to work, I should be able to emit a signal for notify base edje object as popup internally uses elm_notify.
Popup infact reuses the base edc group defined in popup for various orientations. So emitting signal to this edje object is one possible way of getting this hide transition effect.
As Popup already has been inherited from layout, so apps can use its emit hook for emitting a signal which internally would be forwarded to Notify to show the hide transition effect and then hide it on effect competion.
But this requires emit hook support in elm_notify.
