Creates a generator to send one or more SNMP notifications.

    On each iteration, new SNMP TRAP or INFORM notification is send
    (:RFC:`1905#section-4,2,6`). The iterator blocks waiting for
    INFORM acknowledgement to arrive or error to occur.

    Parameters
    ----------
    snmpEngine: :py:class:`~pysnmp.hlapi.SnmpEngine`
        Class instance representing SNMP engine.

    authData: :py:class:`~pysnmp.hlapi.CommunityData` or :py:class:`~pysnmp.hlapi.UsmUserData`
        Class instance representing SNMP credentials.

    transportTarget: :py:class:`~pysnmp.hlapi.asyncore.UdpTransportTarget` or :py:class:`~pysnmp.hlapi.asyncore.Udp6TransportTarget`
        Class instance representing transport type along with SNMP peer address.

    contextData: :py:class:`~pysnmp.hlapi.ContextData`
        Class instance representing SNMP ContextEngineId and ContextName values.

    notifyType: str
        Indicates type of notification to be sent. Recognized literal
        values are *trap* or *inform*.

    \*varBinds: :class:`tuple` of OID-value pairs or :py:class:`~pysnmp.smi.rfc1902.ObjectType` or :py:class:`~pysnmp.smi.rfc1902.NotificationType`
        One or more objects representing MIB variables to place
        into SNMP notification. It could be tuples of OID-values
        or :py:class:`~pysnmp.smi.rfc1902.ObjectType` class instances
        of :py:class:`~pysnmp.smi.rfc1902.NotificationType` objects.

        SNMP Notification PDU includes some housekeeping items that
        are required for SNMP to function.

        Agent information:

        * SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = <agent uptime>
        * SNMPv2-SMI::snmpTrapOID.0 = {SNMPv2-MIB::coldStart, ...}

        Applicable to SNMP v1 TRAP:

        * SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapAddress.0 = <agent-IP>
        * SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapCommunity.0 = <snmp-community-name>
        * SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapEnterprise.0 = <enterprise-OID>

        .. note::

           Unless user passes some of these variable-bindings, `.sendNotification()`
           call will fill in the missing items.

        User variable-bindings:

        * SNMPv2-SMI::NOTIFICATION-TYPE
        * SNMPv2-SMI::OBJECT-TYPE

        .. note::

           The :py:class:`~pysnmp.smi.rfc1902.NotificationType` object ensures
           properly formed SNMP notification (to comply MIB definition). If you
           build notification PDU out of :py:class:`~pysnmp.smi.rfc1902.ObjectType`
           objects or simple tuples of OID-value objects, it is your responsibility
           to provide well-formed notification payload.

    Other Parameters
    ----------------
    \*\*options:
        * `lookupMib` - load MIB and resolve response MIB variables at
          the cost of slightly reduced performance. Default is `True`.

    Yields
    ------
    errorIndication: str
        True value indicates SNMP engine error.
    errorStatus: str
        True value indicates SNMP PDU error.
    errorIndex: int
        Non-zero value refers to `varBinds[errorIndex-1]`
    varBinds: tuple
        A sequence of :py:class:`~pysnmp.smi.rfc1902.ObjectType` class
        instances representing MIB variables returned in SNMP response.

    Raises
    ------
    PySnmpError
        Or its derivative indicating that an error occurred while
        performing SNMP operation.

    Notes
    -----
    The `sendNotification` generator will be exhausted immediately unless
    an instance of :py:class:`~pysnmp.smi.rfc1902.NotificationType` class
    or a sequence of :py:class:`~pysnmp.smi.rfc1902.ObjectType` `varBinds`
    are send back into running generator (supported since Python 2.6).

    Examples
    --------
    >>> from pysnmp.hlapi import *
    >>> g = sendNotification(SnmpEngine(),
    ...                      CommunityData('public'),
    ...                      UdpTransportTarget(('demo.snmplabs.com', 162)),
    ...                      ContextData(),
    ...                      'trap',
    ...                      NotificationType(ObjectIdentity('IF-MIB', 'linkDown')))
    >>> next(g)
    (None, 0, 0, [])
