Does anyone know which files handle the status bar notifications ? I understand it is content-aware. I need to study that mechanism for something.

Code snippets like these sp_desktop_message_stack(desktop)->flash(Inkscape::ERROR_MESSAGE, _("<b>No objects selected</b> to take the style from.")); put a message on the status bar. Have a look at /src/message-stack.h Hope this is enough of a start for you to read the code related to it.
