Not a bad idea, except for errors that a user needs to see (e.g. 
validation errors).  Perhaps the ability to have a small indicator there 
in the middle or where the notices count is displayed to indicate there 
are notices such that the user could click on it and then see the notice 
itself as either a pop up or a panel that slides open from the top.  Not 
pertinent for a first release, just thinking out loud.
