Question about BxSpyModule.php and notifications

I want to turn off all popup notifications, and I found a line in BxSpyModule.php that is commented out:

     * Function will generate content for member menu's bubbles;
     * @see BxSpyModule::serviceGetMemberMenuBubblesData
     * BxDolService::call('spy', 'get_member_menu_spy_data', array(iOldCount));
     *
     *
     * Alerts:
     * no alerts;

Is there something in this file that will turn off all popup notifications? That "no alerts" makes me think it can be done in this file, but I don't know what to edit. Does anyone know?

I think I have just 2 left to disable, but I can't find them. The "XXX is now online" popup, and the ""XXX sent you a new message" popup.
