    The only way will be to add this to the backup script.

No, these notify scripts are REALLY for filesystem backups only. 
bpbkar is calling these scripts and does not run for agent backups.

The master server has parent_start_notify and parent_end_notify scripts. 
When this script is enabled, it will run for each job with a parent job. You can add test criteria for a specific policy.
