    @brief
        Displays @ref orxonox::Notification "Notifications" from specific senders.

        There are quite some parameters that influence the behavior of the NotificationQueue:
        - @b name The name of the NotificationQueue. It needs to be unique.
        - @b senders The senders that are targets of this NotificationQueue, i.e. the names of senders whose Notifications this NotificationQueue displays.
        - @b size The size of the NotificationQueue, it specifies how many @ref orxonox::Notification "Notifications" are displayed at once at the most.
        - @b displayTime The time a @ref orxonox::Notification "Notification" is displayed with this NotificationQueue.
