Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Notification
Support for receiving asynchronous notifications via PostgreSQL's Listen/Notify mechanism. See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/sql-notify.html for more information.
Note that on Windows, getNotification currently uses a polling loop
of 1 second to check for more notifications, due to some inadequacies
in GHC's IO implementation and interface on that platform. See GHC
issue #7353 for more information. While this workaround is less than
ideal, notifications are still better than polling the database directly.
Notifications do not create any extra work for the backend, and are
likely cheaper on the client side as well.

Returns a single notification. If no notifications are available, getNotification blocks until one arrives.
It is safe to call getNotification on a connection that is concurrently being used for other purposes, note however that PostgreSQL does not deliver notifications while a connection is inside a transaction.
Non-blocking variant of getNotification. Returns a single notification, if available. If no notifications are available, returns Nothing.
Returns the process CPid of the backend server process handling this connection.
The backend PID is useful for debugging purposes and for comparison to NOTIFY messages (which include the PID of the notifying backend process). Note that the PID belongs to a process executing on the database server host, not the local host!
