Add configuration options for notifications

**Problem**
When working with utils, the error messages could be more descriptive.

**Suggestion**
Improve error handling and add detailed error messages.

**Context**
This would help with debugging and maintenance.

Start by locating the utility code responsible for error handling and the existing notification configuration entry point. Compare the issue title with the body, since the requested notification options and descriptive utility errors are not aligned. Done should mean the intended configuration behavior and detailed error messages are implemented and verified with the relevant project checks.
