FineBuild can install and configure Notification Services as part of the SQL Server install process. If you do not want to include Notification Services in your FineBuild install, then do not download it.
Notification Services is written by Microsoft. It was chosen to be included in FineBuild to allow use of legacy Notification Services applications in SQL 2008 and above.
Notification Services was introduced as an optional component of SQL Server 2000 and became a standard part of SQL Server 2005, but it is not included in SQL Server 2008 or above. It can be installed as an optional component, but it is recommended that Notification Services is not installed unless it is already being used within SQL Server 2000 or 2005.
Notification Services is no longer supported by Microsoft.
