If you want to turn off all the notification sending from Nova, then I 
suggest to add the following [1] to the nova.conf:
    [oslo_messaging_notifications]

    driver = noop


I verified in a devstack that if you not specify the 
notify_on_state_change attribute in the config file then it properly 
defaults to None. I think there is no way to specify the None value 
othervise in the config file.
