This is more of a "push API" than a "plugin" system - you're providing a way for other services to receive notification of selected events. What is generally meant by "plugins" is that you can install the application and then add functionality to customise its behaviour to your purposes, which requires the plugin to be running locally - or at least have a secure and efficient 2-way communication to provide information to the application not just take it from it. The two features are somewhat distinct, and for many cases a "feed" (e.g. RSS, iCal) is a simple alternative to a push API.
