So you want to send a notification to the gdm login screen?  You can do
that using the gdm user's dbus and the notify2 python library.  Install
"python3-notify2" and create a python script for the notification
(example below).  Then you can run:
sudo -u gdm DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/42/bus
/tmp/notif.py
My test script was at /tmp/notif.py

# cat /tmp/notif.py
#!/usr/bin/python3

import notify2

notify2.init("my test")

n = notify2.Notification("Hey you!", "information here")
n.show()
