This really depends on your programming language of choice. In the end, xfce4-notifyd is just a "frontend" for the XDG Desktop Notification Spec [1]. A popular library implementing this spec is libnotify [2], which has bindings in many languages. Of course, you could send raw DBUS messages as well, also possible with many programming languages.

So, in the end it depends on your work environment on what to use.
