At the moment Notification Web API is not available in wearable SDK. So you can't.

@m.wasowski regarding Gear S, you are simply not correct. – Konstantin Apr 15 '15 at 14:28

To launch application you have to know ID. There is example in documentation:

tizen.application.launch(ApplicationId id, optional SuccessCallback? successCallback, optional ErrorCallback? errorCallback);

or:

tizen.application.launchAppControl(
     appControl,
     appId,
     function() {console.log("launch application control succeed"); },
    function(e) {console.log("launch application control failed. reason: " + e.message); },
    appControlReplyCallback );

You can find information in Tizen SDK help: API References > Device API Reference > Application and Programming Guide > Device API Guides > Application Guides

You need the permission: http://tizen.org/privilege/application.launch

I want to launch "com.samsung.wnotification2". How ? anybody who could help me to launch this ?

I hope you've found an answer already, though let me post an answer as I am stumbling into your question for fifth time ;)

var notificationsAppId = "com.samsung.wnotification2";

tizen.application.launch(notificationsAppId, function() {
    console.log("launch success");
}, function() {
    console.log("launch failed");
});

Please also take into account that this method of calling notifications screen will not work for Gear S - Samsung disabled ability to launch the "com.samsung.wnotification2" (though, if you try, the launch request will not indicate failure!)
