use linux native notifications with tea-time

Hi,

I'm trying to set up tea-time.el to use native linux notification
(through notify-send).

The current "notification function" in tea-time.el is:

------------
(defun show-notification (notification)
  "Show notification. Use mumbles."
 (if (program-exists "mumbles-send")
    (start-process "tea-time-mumble-notification" nil "mumbles-send"
notification)
  (message notification)
 ))
---------------



What would be the most straightforward way of using _notify-send_ in
this function?

(I tried:

---
(defun show-notification (notification)
  (shell-command (concat "notify-send " notification)
))
---

but I get an "Invalid number of options" error.)

thanks,
  --Ben
