Oh, I see. Sure I guess. But it's not a DDoS either. It would just be a DoS.

Nope, it's a DDoS:

"A DoS attack is a denial of service attack where a computer is used to flood a server with TCP and UDP packets. A DDoS attack is where multiple systems target a single system with a DoS attack. The targeted network is then bombarded with packets from multiple locations."

Multiple apps engaged to notify 1 human, multiple systems attack -> single system.... DDoS.
