@andrei90vs same issue here.
Tried soooo many solutions and cannot believe how such functionality isnt part of core.
Did you find any work around @andrei90vs ?
Cheers

No ... I used existing notification and I positioned where I wanted.

oh ok... I'm still trying to figure out a way of having all notifications consistent throughout all activity types.
Might have to dev a custom plug in for the likes though...

Any news for notifications?

I have added a hook that fires when something is liked. I use that hook to send notification on likes.

do_action('bp_like_added', $item_id, $user_id);

The hook is added in this pull request and the code that adds notifications is:

// Add notification for likes
function zombie_like_added($liked_item_id, $user_id) {

    global $wpdb;
    $statement = 'SELECT * FROM wp_bp_activity WHERE id = ' . $liked_item_id;
    $results = $wpdb->get_results( $statement, OBJECT );

    // Determin like level
    if ($results[0]->item_id == "0" || $results[0]->item_id == "1") {
        $root_level = true;
        $root_item = $results[0]->id;
    }else{
        $root_level = false;
        $root_item = $results[0]->item_id;
    }

    $liker_id   = $user_id;
    $like_owner = $results[0]->user_id;

    $args = array(
        'user_id'           => $like_owner,             // Recieves notification
        'item_id'           => $root_item,              // The item that was liked
        'secondary_item_id' => $liker_id,               // The liker
        'component_name'    => 'zombie_likes',
        'date_notified'     => bp_core_current_time(),
        'is_new'            => 1,
        );

    // Get root activity
    $activity = bp_activity_get_specific(array( 'activity_ids' => $root_item));
    $activity = $activity['activities'][0];
    $activity->user_id;

    // Root or sub level like
    switch ($root_level) {
        case true:
        $args['component_action']  = 'new_zombie_like_' . $liked_item_id . "_" . $liker_id;
        break;

        case false:
        $args['component_action']  = 'new_zombie_sub_like_' . $liked_item_id . "_" . $liker_id;
        break;
    }

    // Do not add notification when liking own item 
    if ($activity->user_id != $liker_id && $like_owner != $liker_id) {
        bp_notifications_add_notification( $args );
    }
}
add_action('bp_like_added', 'zombie_like_added', 10, 2);
