Reboot notification?

Is it possible to have some notification when the system needs reboot after system upgrade?

I know in Ubuntu there is a notification after some packages such as newer kernel installed.

Nothing in pacman indicates that, you're expected to know that yourself, since you're responsible for your own system.

Got it. Thanks!
I think I will just upgrade less and reboot every time after performing a system upgrade.
