Would it be totally bad to use another icon color theme with
notify-osd? Most colors should go along well with the dark gray
background?

Yes, but that wasn't my only concern. If you use a11y technologies,
and a blind person is in front of the computer, you do have the icon,
but it's not of any value to the user.

The other texts were self-contained, can't we just make this last
string, too?
