Sounds exactly like when /etc/hotplug/usb.agent gets called, so
at some level you just want a enhanced hotplug agent behavior.
At this point there's no general hook to make that particular
behavioral change, so you'd have to modify or replace that
agent script. Do you think this will be a common enough task
that the scripts should accomodate it directly? You didn't say
what your "application" does.
As Greg noted, if you have usbdevfs configured there are
other ways to get such notifications. As just one example,
the Java USB library has a standard notifier interface that
calls out to report add/remove of devices and busses. I
don't think the C "libusb" does such stuff now though.
