Notifications associate events (both system and custom) to email recipients. When an event is fired and picked up, emails will be sent out. Notification types define the recipients of emails. For example, you can set them to only send emails to a specific user or all members from a given user group. You can add multiple notifications to a given event.
Jira ships with a comprehensive list of notification types (that is, the recipients) that will cover many of your needs. The following table lists all the notification types that are available and how they work:
