Should I use django-activity-stream combined with django-notifications?

Question

I'm discovering django-activity-stream, I would like to use it on our website for showing a news feed based on follow relationships (like Twitter) and a profile feed. It seems perfect for doing this.

However, it doesn't seem really great for notifications feed. So :

• Should I use django-notifications which is dedicated for this use case ? (Maybe both framework are meant to work as a pair, is there specific configuration for that ?)
• Or should I just tweak django-activity-stream(considering that both framework are based on the same structure) and how ?

FYI : I don't need template features as I'm building a REST API (with django-rest-framework).

You just need to use both packages for their own purpose. Just follow their docs and you will get many thing answered.

django-notification is based on django-activity-stream and can be used for github-like notifications. you can serialize the django motifications models with django rest framework.
