I know a lot of people aren't going to like this, but...... I don't think Microsoft will ever give WP users a notification center, simply because it makes Live Tiles seem rather useless in comparison.
Microsoft has been really banking on Live Tiles as being what makes Windows Phone unique and if they were to suddenly add a Notification Center, people would start to stop looking at their Tiles and instead swipe down from the top of the screen like they do with the other platforms and those big tiles would start looking like well...a big waste of space.
The only way for Microsoft to get out of this branding conundrum is to innovate and create something as unique as Live Tiles which performs the same function as a Notification Center without making it surpass the so-called "glance and go" Microsoft touts with their Live Tiles.
