bash shell-script shell command-line notify-send

                          Suppose I have a command like:

    foo() {
        echo a
        echo b >&2
        echo c
        echo d >&2
    }

I use the following command to process stdout in terminal but send error via notify-send

    foo 1> >(cat) 2> >(ifne notify-send "Error")

The issue i am having is, I want to view the stderr (in this case b d) as notify-send body.

I have tried:

    foo 1> >(cat) 2> >(ifne notify-send "Error" "$(cat)")
    foo 1> >(cat) 2> >(ifne notify-send "Error" "$(
