  I don't think there is currently a way to do that without changing the source because the setting of that flashdata is the last thing done before redirecting and a model hook wouldn't work there. It may not be a bad idea for the module.php file to have something like the following to detect if the success message has already been set. Or, as an alternative, the fuel/modules/fuel/views/_blocks/notifications.php file could have an additional flashdata value that is displayed before the success message.
  if (!$this->session->flashdata('success')) { $this->session->set_flashdata('success', lang('data_saved')); }

  Ok cool, thanks for the input. In general, wouldn't it make sense to have a method that a model could call in one of the various hooks to provide feedback to the user which is not necessarily validation-specific? Just to be verbose Something like this (pseudocode)

  
  on_after_save($values) {
      $this->show_notification('warning', 'Please make sure you also send an email to the customer');
  }
  

  and what happens is that a flash message is displayed in the notification bar, possibly alongside the 'data has been saved' standard message. Makes any sense?

  Yep it does... The next release will have just that but on a Fuel_admin object (e.g. $this->fuel->admin->set_notification('success', 'My Message');.

  Thanks admin, it works now .
  Doc is here - http://docs.getfuelcms.com/libraries/fuel_admin#func_set_notification
  And message should look like - $this->fuel->admin->set_notification('Custom message ...', 'success');
