If I enable private notes, is it possible to set it up so it can only be used by admins (system messages) and notifications.

i.e. I'm not looking for users to message each other. I just want messages from admin and notifications to appear.

This is not supported - it's not a 1-way communication system - you're best bet here would just be to use email.

It would be a nice option; much like facebook's notifications.

Alternatively, an addition to the notifications system to show pending Alerts and # of items on toolbar, and a page to see all your notifications. It's a good alternative to email and if the api supported it, it would work much better in an app. Alerts are critical in an app for getting users to engage.

Notifications should not be an issue - Jamroom already has a fairly robust notification setup. What you are looking for is a "one way private note" - i.e. an inbox that the users can VIEW messages in, but not respond or start messages - that's not supported.

Ok, forgetting about messages from admin. Is there any way a user on the site can see that there are notifications pending or read their notifications on the site? I didn't see anything, but wanted to make sure.

That's what Private Notes are for ;) But if I understand what you're looking for, you want a "read only" private notes - and that's not supported.

If it's any help at all Danny- if you have CometChat on your JR site, it offers an 'announcement' little chat bar pop-up feature that the admin can use.
