The documentation for -runUntilDate: says

Runs the loop in NSDefaultRunLoopMode by repeated calls to 
-runMode:beforeDate: while there are still input sources.  Exits when no 
more input sources remain, or date is reached, whichever occurs first.

So I guess you could send the notification when the method returns.
