The disclosed embodiments provide a system which implements a notification barrier. During operation, the system receives a call to the notification barrier installed on a sender object, wherein the call originates from a receiver object which receives notifications posted by the sender object. In response to the call, the system acquires a notification lock, wherein the notification lock is held whenever the sender is posting a notification. The system then releases the notification lock, wherein releasing the lock indicates to the receiver object that the sender object has no pending posted notifications. |
