You had the right idea: the arguments of listen and notify commands are
identifiers.  I don't know what convinced you otherwise.

regression=# listen "Z";
LISTEN
regression=# notify Z;
NOTIFY
regression=# notify "Z";
NOTIFY
Asynchronous notification "Z" received from server process with PID 28818.
regression=# listen z;
LISTEN
regression=# notify "Z";
NOTIFY
Asynchronous notification "Z" received from server process with PID 28818.
regression=# notify Z;
NOTIFY
Asynchronous notification "z" received from server process with PID 28818.
regression=#
