App/Widget to Disable All Notifications and Handcent Popups?

[robind21283]

Is there a widget/app to quickly disable pop ups/message detail in the notification bar? Sometimes someon wants to use/look at/hold my phone for a minute, but I don't want them to see the pop-ups of my texts or the message detail scrolling across the notification bar. It's one of those things 99% of the time I want the pop-ups and notifications but 1% of the time I don't. It would be nice if there was a quick privacy mode widget.

Maybe by that time (2011) there wasn't such thing, but as of now there is an app in the play store Notifications Off.

UPDATE: Now realized that "ROOT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS APP TO WORK"
