design patterns - The notification tray at the top of Stack Exchange sites: what is it called? And are there other good examples of this?

I'm trying to clean up notifications for a client site and was wondering if the notification pattern that Stack Exchange employs has a name that I can use to search for more examples.

Answer

The terms I see the most are "message bar", "notify bar" and "notification bar".

There are tons of examples with Google using the terms above. Below are a few.
