The event class that implements this interface should check if the listener that is passed as argument supports this event, and invoke the correct method of the listener to notify the listener.
      For example: A context switch event can check if the listener contains a method 'onContextSwitch' and invoke that method when found.
      Parameters:
      listener - IEventListener that should be notified of the event.
