No.

What makes a program (compiled or interpreted script) an AGI is that it 
follows the AGI protocol.

Very simplistically, the AGI protocol consists of 2 things:

1) the AGI environment sent to the AGI's STDIN

2) a defined interface to ask Asterisk to do things in the form of a 
request and a response.

Externnotify will work if the program is not an AGI.
