I think I misunderstood your use case. Are you on a laptop? My
recommendations were based on the assumption you were on a laptop and
want desktop notifications about your battery state. But your question
about wall notifications to other users suggests to me you are
probably after power management settings for battery backup (UPS) for
a desktop/server when there is a power failure. If that is the case,
there are dedicated applications to communicate with your UPS like nut
or apcupsd. However as a disclaimer, I have never used these myself.
