Difficult to test. ;-)

GNOME Disks will poll for SMART info when it's run manually. As for notifications when the app isn't running, I'm not sure how this would work without a daemon running that polls on a schedule. Same for mdadm created RAID arrays. Neither mdadm or smartd are configured out of the box to issue notifications, and when they are so configured, both depend on email as the mechanism.

I consistently get notifications from Gnome Shell if I use LVM (integrated) RAID, but presently anaconda doesn't create this form of RAID. Instead it uses mdadm to create an explicit md device, then creates LVM on that. Whereas the integrated approach, the raid level is an attribute of the LV (it does use the md driver code, but it doesn't depend on mdadm for creation or monitoring) with its own LVM monitoring daemon.
